Appleton Reservoir
Key Information
Fishing Areas
Appleton Reservoir, also known as Walton Reservoir, has dedicated spots for anglers to enjoy their sessions. The sandbank facing the dam wall is a popular choice, offering ample space for casting. For those who prefer a different environment, there are swims along the west bank nestled in the reeds. It’s advisable to wear wellington boots or waders in these areas to navigate the terrain comfortably.
Fish Present
The reservoir is home to a variety of fish, including shoals of quality roach and some good perch. Anglers might also encounter odd bream and tench during their visits. While trout were previously a focus, the current emphasis is on coarse fishing, providing a diverse catch for enthusiasts.
Parking and Membership
Access to Appleton Reservoir is exclusive to members, with no day tickets available. Club memberships are offered, ensuring a dedicated community of anglers. For those visiting, there is a club-owned locked car park located at one end of the reservoir, providing convenient and secure parking options.
