Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Peak District National Park, Ladybower Reservoir is a large Y-shaped, artificial reservoir and one of the UK’s most iconic fly fishing destinations. The reservoir is fed by the River Ashop from the west and the River Derwent from the north, which flows through the Howden and Derwent reservoirs before reaching Ladybower. Owned by Severn Trent Water, it serves a primary purpose of supplying domestic water. The fishery is managed on a day-ticket basis and offers over 13 miles of accessible shoreline with crystal-clear waters, thriving fish stocks, and stunning scenery that attracts anglers and families alike.
