Rutland Water

Rutland Water is arguably the premier trout fishing venue in the United Kingdom.

Geography

At around 3,500 acres, and with 26 miles of shoreline, Rutland Water is regarded as one of the best stillwater trout fisheries in Europe.

Set in very scenic rolling countryside, it is stocked annually with over 80,000 Trout and fly hatches are often very prolific. Another attraction of Rutland Water is the possibility of seeing Ospreys while you are fishing.

Species

Rainbow trouts are in excellent condition. Sixty five per cent of trout caught weigh in at two pounds and trout grow to fifteen pounds.

The fishery records at Rutland Water are unique, with a modest 14lb 4oz for Rainbow Trout and surpassed by a massive 14lb 12 oz for the biggest Brown Trout ever caught at Rutland Water. Huge pike and zander are also caught.

How To Fish

This venue is often busy during the open season from April to December. Despite the vast size insect life is plentiful, and popular flies include Buzzer, Sedge, Daddies, Hawthorn and other imitative patterns.

The depth of this fishery means that Boobies, Blobs and Dabblers are also very effective.
