Welcome to the Errwood Fly Fishing Club Website

Errwood Fly Fishing Club (EFFC) is a members' club founded in 1970, soon after the River Goyt dam was constructed to provide drinking water for Stockport. The reservoir occupies 85 acres in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Peak National Park between Buxton, Whaley Bridge and Macclesfield.

Fishing rights to Errwood Reservoir include the three feeder streams that form the headwaters of the Goyt.

There is ample parking and plenty of fishing just a few yards away. For anglers who do not enjoy a long walk, the close proximity of a gently sloping bank is much appreciated. Friendship and a chat about angling supplement a fine fishing venue.

Regular stockings take place throughout the season of well-finned, high quality rainbow trout from carefully sourced, approved suppliers. For the 2010 season it is intended to stock fish between 2 and 6lbs with a number of even larger fish to supplement each stocking!

In addition, Errwood sustains a population of indigenous wild brown trout to 1 1/4lb. These are hard fighting, take a small fly at lightning speed and will test even the most experienced angler.
