Joffrey Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Does anyone know if there is carp to be caught in those reservoirs? Lots of talk of big pike/chub/bream in Damflask. Is there any carp in there? I'm finding some info on Rivelin Valley, what about those two reservoirs? Are we allowed to fish it? Do both hold carp? Lovely location it seems. Same question for Agden Reservoir? Just curious. Need a new challenge. I don't like small ponds or aquarium fisheries. I'm not familiar with tackle shops in and around Hillsborough I could go to to acquire some of this info? I'd like to know where they are. Any info is much appreciated. Cheers!

panchobar Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I used to fish Dam Flask years ago for the Bream and it was very hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joffrey Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I don't mind putting some effort in. It's all part of carp fishing. I can image they are going to be hard to spot on that water. If I know they are there it's a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawsons tackle shop, holme lane hillsborough 0114 2812178 There maybe the odd carp in Damflask, mainly roach perch bream pike though Mick Dawson could help you here. I was under the impression Agden was no fishing......give Mick a ring or call in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliewag Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Unless some have been illegally stocked, Dam Flask doesn't hold any carp. I don't know about Rivelin dams. There are some big carp in Underbank though they are notoriously difficult to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about that one. I'll call in soon. Cheers Edited October 25, 2016 by Joffrey typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dars35 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Agden is definitely no fishing - always has been no carp in the flask, or if there are they have been illegally stocked & it would only be a scattering. The flask has always been bream, roach, perch, chub & pike there may be the odd wild brown trout that's come down the stream, doubt there's any of the rainbows left from when they used to stock it in the 80's (I seem to recall rainbows don't breed in waters they are stocked?) I've also read in a few places there's the odd tench.... in all the years I fished it as a teenager, I never met anyone who had seen one come out, so if there are some it will only be a handful Underbank is out at Stocksbridge, the bypass runs along it's northern bank don't know very much about that, as only fished it 2 or 3 times in my youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
