At 93 acres in area when full, Naseby is one of the CRT’s largest reservoirs.

Naseby Reservoir was built to supply water to the Grand Union Canal Leicester line. Its feeder stream supplies water to the Welford Arm in Welford village, some two miles away from Naseby.

Naseby is well stocked with the Fishers Pond strain carp with a handful going over the magical 40lb mark, with a typical-sized fish being in the range of 18lb to 30lb. There’s also a huge head of roach, which are often shoaled up on the dam wall.

When the water is high after a wet winter, the dam wall platforms are your best bet for accessible pegs and these are often hotspots for winter pike fishing. Naseby has produced pike to over 30lb in the past. In the summer and autumn, the water levels drop and you can fish from the reservoir bed, which is mostly made of gravel.

The Dam wall pegs are currently being refurbished with bivvy board style swims suitable for one man bivvies only. When booking these swims, please be aware that to secure your bivvy, you will need screw in platform pegs such as the Fox Platform S pegs. Stage stands and pods only, as you will not be able to secure your bank sticks in the wooden platform. Normal screws are not allowed. No waders to be worn at anytime on the dam wall swims for safety reasons.
