Tower Bank

As the predominant wind blows towards Tower Bank and water is run off via the valve tower there is usually a good bet that there will be the odd fish hanging around this area.

Fishing here is not for the faint hearted. If there is any wind at all it will seem to be intensified on Tower Bank and blowing straight at you, while other areas, such as at Duffers Bank there will be barely a ripple! Towards the Dam Wall is known as the Tackle Graveyard as the shallow water close in is littered with huge boulders, iron and steel, and what appears to be pebble dashed cement ready to snag any fly fished too deep.

When the water level is high then extra care should be taken as other users of the water may be using the road behind anyone casting here.

Car parking in this area is for key holders only, anyone without a key risks being locked in! Please lock the gate and barrier behind you unless the Sailing Club, who control this area, want to leave the barrier/gate open. Parking is also available near the barrier but please park sensibly.
