Chew Valley Lake
Woodford Lodge, Chew Stoke, Somerset, BS40 8XHVenue Details
Chew Valley needs little introduction to most experienced fly fishers. It is a man made reservoir, built in the 1950's and opened for fly fishing in 1956. At that time it was the first of the large man made lakes opened for trout fishing and following on their years of experience at Blagdon, Bristol Water soon established their new water as the best stocked fishery in Europe, an accolade that many would say has never been lost. At top water level the lake extends over 1200 acres and is filled with 4500 million gallons of Mendip water. It is a shallow lake, averaging only 14 feet deep with a maximum of just 37 feet.
