The charity making life better by water

Harthill Reservoir

Harthill is a series of three ponds covering 33 acres. It's the main supply and water reserve for the local Chesterfield Canal, and also home to Rotherham Sailing Club.

Boasting a large stock of carp, bream, roach and pike, this is a water that if you can find them, you can expect to catch fish every cast.

Classed by some as a carp runs water, it's not unheard of to catch more than 30 fish in a session. Carp average 8lb and some run close to 30lb.

Bream also play a dominant role in the numbers of fish present and this makes the reservoir popular with general coarse and match orientated anglers.

Fishery rules

Please always check with the fishery bailiff for any changes or updates to the fishery rules.
