Langley Dam

Fishing Opportunities

Langley Dam offers anglers a diverse experience with both boat and bank fishing options. The 14-acre fishery features peaty waters from the Northumbrian moorland, reaching depths of up to 10 feet. Regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout and Blue Trout, anglers can expect to catch trout weighing up to 2lb. Additionally, Carp are present, providing an exciting challenge for those looking to land a substantial catch.

Facilities

Conveniently located just off the A69 on the B6305, Langley Dam provides ample parking for visitors. The adjacent bait and tackle shop is well-stocked, allowing anglers to purchase or hire the necessary gear for a successful day out. For those preferring to fish from a boat, there are four boats available for hire, though booking in advance is recommended, especially during weekends.

Insider Tip

While fishing near the reeds, anglers may often spot large Rainbow Trout making impressive rises on the water’s surface. However, it's likely that these spectacles are the few remaining Carp, offering a unique opportunity to engage with these powerful fish. Bringing a set of waders can enhance the fishing experience, allowing access to various parts of the dam and increasing the chances of a rewarding catch.
