About Tringford Reservoir

Tringford Reservoir is part of the Tring Reservoirs complex and the only part of it fished for trout. At full capacity it covers 26 acres of clear water fed by a chalk stream and underwater springs, with depths averaging 4 to 10 feet and reaching about 15 feet when levels peak. Levels rise and fall through the year because the reservoirs feed the local canal. Tringford Trout Fishery stocks it regularly through the season with rainbow and brown trout.
