Rutland Water is one of the largest man-made lakes in England, and its primary reputation is as a trout fishery rather than a carp water — it's a well-established venue for both bank and boat fly fishing, with boat hire available directly on site.

Its size and profile make it a familiar name even to anglers who don't fish it regularly, and it remains one of the most recognisable stillwaters in the country.
