Stoneyford Reservoir
Wading is permitted but care should be taken. Early season fly fishing with sunk lures and streamers can be effective. This is a public water supply and care should be taken to prevent pollution.
The presence of Zebra Mussels is still preventing the stocking of fish from Movanagher Fish Farm. For more information, please visit Zebra Mussels and impact on fish stocking in the Public Angling Estate.
