Meldon Reservoir

Surrounded by open moorland on North Dartmoor, Meldon offers free wilderness brown trout fishing for wild fish from the bank to holders of a valid Environment Agency Rod Licence (non-migratory). Permitted angling methods at this reservoir include spinning, fly or bait. ‘Catch and release’ option is available (barbless hooks to be used), otherwise up to 4 fish over 7″ may be taken in a day.
