Orvis UK

We are proud to have a number of new day ticket outlets representing EFFC. The Bakewell Orvis branch is one of our latest additions. Managed by experienced angler Andy Wilde the shop has virtually everything a fly fisherman could ever want plus a large range of clothing, luggage and sporting items. Although there aren’t many places better than Errwood Reservoir David keeps track of all the local waters and offers advice and assistance whenever asked.

Turn Left at Goyt Lane (signposted Goyt Valley)

Follow the road into the valley until you come to two large reservoirs. Errwood Reservoir is the higher of the two reservoirs on the left. Parking is available on the roads around the reservoir, but please park sensibly. EFFC members may park in the sailing club area and have a key for the gate and barrier which should be closed at all times unless the Sailing Club want to leave it open. Day ticket holders parking in this area risk being locked in.

The returns box is built into the wall by the valve tower and easily viewable from the barrier. Please post all returns as it helps us keep an accurate stocking policy.
