The West Bank is the longest stretch of fishing on Errwood Reservoir. Easily accessible with plenty of roadside parking makes this a favourite with many anglers.

Casting here is easy with plenty of open space behind. The water appears shallow close in but there are many holes, drop offs and fish holding features. In the early parts of the season shoaled fish will move up and down the banks.

As with most parts of Errwood changing your location here by just a few yards can have instant success, fishing light and working the bank can give you an enjoyable and rewarding days fishing.

Warning on hot, still summer nights insect repellent or a good midge net is recommended, the fish might feed on the midges but the midges will feed on you!
