Fishing near Long Eaton, England

Take them in turn: 12 miles away is Foremark Reservoir to the south-west, 16 miles away is Thornton Reservoir, 19 miles away is Carsington Water to the north-west then 30 miles away is Rutland Water. Foremark Reservoir is the deepest option here, which helps through the hot weeks. Whether a lid forms depends on the year. Treat the whole of winter as open water and you will not go wrong. Most of these sit behind a wall. Anything that breaks the bottom is worth a cast. Foremark Reservoir sits nearest and covers some 210 acres. Fish documented across Derbyshire include brown trout, rainbow trout and chub. The number within reach grows once you widen the circle. Parking is the usual limit rather than bank space.
