FORMER NATURE RESERVE BANK, SWINSTY RESERVOIR, TIMBLE, N YORKS

Why? There’s 15ft of water just 10 yards from the bank. In the winter big perch, roach, skimmers and dace shoal up here. How? You can fish the pole at 10m but you’ll need a deep rig to touch bottom. A groundbait feeder loaded with maggot, chopped worm and caster will keep them in your swim, and 50lb is possible. Contact: 07754 505434 Postcode: HG3 1SU
