Elsecar Reservoir sits on Wentworth Road in Elsecar, Barnsley, and was originally built to supply water to the local canal. Today it is a popular coarse fishery, with fishing rights leased to Elsecar Colliery Angling Club.

The reservoir holds a variety of coarse fish, including common carp, mirror carp, and grass carp among the most frequently caught species.

The club maintains 29 pegged fishing bays and 15 non-pegged bays, available to club members and visiting clubs at organised events. Anglers can contact the site on 01226 743933 for further information.
