Fish Species
Whipley Reservoir in Tyne and Wear offers a diverse range of fish for anglers. The reservoir is home to mirror carp, reaching impressive sizes up to 18lb, alongside common carp that also grow to substantial sizes.

Fishing Highlights
Carp fishing at Whipley Reservoir has been particularly rewarding in recent years, with numerous catches reported around the 18lb mark. The presence of other species like roach and perch adds to the fishing experience, especially since these have been actively stocked in the waters. Anglers can enjoy a fruitful day by the reservoir, thanks to the healthy fish populations and the favourable fishing conditions.
Conservation Efforts
The Environment Agency has played a significant role in enhancing the reservoir's ecosystem. By installing spawning structures, they've successfully supported the breeding of carp, as evidenced by the large numbers of fry reported this year. These efforts have contributed to the thriving fish community, ensuring that Whipley Reservoir remains a vibrant spot for anglers throughout the year.
