The Fallen Tree

The Fallen Tree is one of the favourite areas of anglers prepared to walk down the East Bank . Due to its distance from a parking space the Tree gets less attention than other more accessible areas however it can be one of the most productive areas on Errwood. This area covers the Tree itself and a small cutting created by the old road that ran through the valley. The road can hold numbers of fish and if the water level is high enough there is usually a fish or two around the tree.

This area also holds a large number of the natural brown trout. There are plenty of trees surrounding this area and in summer large ferns grow on the banks providing food for the trout on windy days. Early season can often see the fish feeding on frogspawn and tadpoles.
