Fishing Lakes in Consett

Consett's four listed waters lean heavily towards reservoirs, with Derwent Reservoir, Smiddy Shaw Reservoir and Waskerley Reservoir all featured on this page alongside Knitsley Mill Trout Fishery. That mix points to a day built around open, exposed stillwaters rather than sheltered ponds, with Knitsley Mill offering a trout-focused alternative to the reservoir fishing that dominates the rest of the page.

Between them, these four venues cover the fishing options listed for Consett itself. Anyone wanting to widen their search could look towards Barnard Castle, which has its own page carrying four listings of its own, though what's on offer there is separate from what's listed here.
