SCAR HOUSE |
Scar House was constructed in the 1920's to supply much needed water to Bradford as a result of the industrial revolution. Today the reservoir still supplies water to industrial West Yorkshire, but it is also used for recreation. In addition to trout fishing there are walks around the reservoir and beyond, and it is a good area for bird watching and mountain biking.
Scar House Reservoir can be found by driving from Pateley Bridge on the minor road towards Wath and Lofthouse. After driving through Lofthouse take the signed right turn onto access road. Follow the access road all the way to the clearly marked car park where cars should be left (strictly no cars beyond the car park). For Google map/directions click here.

Nidderdale Angling Club control the fishing on Scar House
Reservoir for members and visiting anglers. Scar House is situated right at
the head of Nidderdale, immediately below Angram Reservoir (no fishing),
and provides fine wild brown trout fishing. Great Whernside and Little
Whernside give a magnificent backdrop to a day spent fishing the waters
of Scar House.
The wild brown trout that inhabit Scar House average about 3
to the pound, with the occasional fish to around the 1lb mark. All the usual
traditional wet flies will work, as will dry flies when the fish are looking
up. If in doubt use something black! Float and ledger fishing with worm, and
fishing with artificial lure are also permitted, but please note that
natural minnow and ground baiting are not allowed at Scar House Reservoir at
any time. Please see
