Hoyle Mill Dam

Overview

Hoyle Mill Dam in West Yorkshire offers a peaceful retreat for anglers, set against a backdrop of surrounding woods. The lake spans a little over eight acres and includes additional fishing areas, providing more than thirteen acres to explore. Managed by Barnsley AA, the dam is a dedicated spot for carp fishing, welcoming both day visitors and season anglers.

Fishing Spots

With 60 pegs available across three banks, Hoyle Mill Dam caters to a variety of fishing preferences. While the majority of pegs are easily accessible, reaching those furthest from the parking area can require a bit of effort, especially if you're bringing along extensive fishing gear. A trolley can make transporting your equipment much easier. The primary channel is about seven and a half feet wide, ideal for casting with maggots. During warmer weather, shallow spots open up, perfect for late-night fishing when the silver fish are most active.
