Appleton Reservoir

This water is members-only

Appleton Reservoir (also known as Walton Reservoir) is located near to Walton Golf Course. The reservoir was formerly the club’s put and take trout fishery. Now, it is a mixed coarse fishery, where anglers can enjoy fishing in peaceful surroundings.

Despite the size of the water, there are limited fishing pegs. Fishing is available on the ‘sandbank’ facing the dam wall. Alternatively, there are swims along the west bank in the reeds, although wellington boots or waders are recommended. When the water level is low, fishing is possible from the dam wall, but great care is required both for personal safety and fish welfare. No carp fishing from the Dam wall.

This is a mixed fishery, noted for stocks of quality roach and plenty of average-sized (mostly double figure) carp. There are also perch and tench to be caught.  The roach fishing is best when the water is coloured, with feeder or whip-to-hand methods successful for a good session. 

There is a locked WAA car park at both ends of the reservoir which members should use.
