Draining and Removing all the fish from Harthill Reservoir



You don’t get many opportunities to see what lies beneath the waters surface, especially on a reservoir that is over 200 years old, and that’s exactly what we do in this video. Join me at the Harthill Reservoir, where they are undertaking the winter works ahead of the engineering works on the dam wall. The reservoir water level has already been significantly reduced prior to the fish being netted, so you can get the idea of the topography of the reservoir bed. Will we get any surprises along the way and how many fish will the reservoir hold…….

hope you enjoy the video, something slightly different to normal but hopefully interesting

thanks Kayleigh

Carps are trash fish !!!!

Peaky_Blinder

What's the biggest fish to come out

Butcher Bird

What did they do with all the fish ? I know my freezer would have been full ! More seriously, did they sell them, give them to a food pantry, try to relocate them to another lake or ?

joseph croft

really enjoyed the video also gives anglers a chance to see the layout of the lake bed , looks a fairly shallow Reservoir ,

Oculus Angelicus

I had no Idea that there were Pike in England's waterways, I know they are in Norther EUropean waters, I they are as common as house flies here in Canada but I had no idea that England had them too! Are they endemic or were they introduced?

Steve Newns

Some right crumping roach in there.

David Goudie

And they don't return them back, the res is empty of fish now

Martin Callaghan

Roach and proper roach at that ' really enjoyed that luv ,don't know if it's the school boy that's in this old carcass somewhere but have always been fascinated by water and what lies in its murky depths . 👍🤣

wayne parkinson

caught any mermaids yet cant think what's on the menu this evening?

Truth Teller

Greetings from Auz. Some big fish in there. Do the alligators not cause issues with stock levels there then?

Dreadfull Guppy

Very nice roach amongst all the 6lb carp..I can't get excited about bream unless they're in double figures.

Paul Redinger

You just destroyed that other waterway putting all those carp in it. Didn’t you notice the capture net was almost entirely carp? They destroy and eat the other fish nests. You should of only saved the non carp species.

Mark Vanderstelt

Funny how they Value the carp like they were Salmon Haha i like catching them but they overrun lakes and rivers in the united states they are a invasive fish.

Michael Cooper

Great to see the res again. I haven't been there for years my Father, Sister and myself had season tickets through the latter 70's and early 80's if I remember right the secretary who issued the tickets was called Harry King and lived on the estate as you drive up to the res. Brilliant mixed fishing, although the carp always seem to allude us.

Stinking European carp, we despise these fish here in Australia, in fact it's illegal to throw them back if you catch one. You've got to kill it and dump it away from the river edge. It's illegal to throw them back in dead as well. They destroy the waterways here by sucking up the mud on the banks causing severe erosion, they also outcompete all the native fish. Why they were ever brought here and released I have no idea

Jason Mellinship

Fox in a hen house springs to mind with that Pike in the net! Some gorgeous fish there, Bream, Tench especially and big Roach.

Daily Allowance

Removed and put where ???

DomFishingUK

shame the guys running the place wanted the pike dead and the large carp removed to make another bloody match lake for there f1's

Malcolm Brown

I”m a trout fisher and appreciate good fishery management, less handling the better, avoid stressing the fish on transfer

Gazza

Joke of a place , it’s been like that for ages now .

Levid design

The Pike will have a field day once settled, with an over populated pond.

Nicolas Valentin

big net full of fish is great .

paul wood

as far as i know these fish have been located to huddersfield narrow canal slathwaite angling club

Mick Clarke

Some specimen fish, what was the size of pike?

Linda Thrift

Fish look healthy

THE CARPFATHER

Fished it for years now they took them out its finished we all know they wont be going back in

iain johnston

I'm a trout fisherman but enjoyed your video . My only concern is , was it necessary to handle the fish as often in their removal from reservoir to the other especially when releasing them

Karl Newbold

Just hope they put all the fish back. Did same at elsacer res and we never seen the bigger fish ever again.

Some lovely roach and hybrids, and bream in the mix ! Healthy looking pike and carp too, this looks a great mixed fishery, with healthy looking specimens of all species.

You guys should be proud of these venues. 😎

Wim Theeuwen

Verry clear speaking, I think 0.00001 percent understand you

John Gerard Mc Carthy

It's strange that there is a reservoir in Caldercruix just by Airdrie near a village called Harthill.
I have never seen this spance of water so low.
I walked round it late summer, there was also work being carried out down the damback end. The word on the street was the climate change, the dreadful threat to modern life and society, however I know they were emptying the water out to a not so local canal. I have never seen the canal so high ever, sluices releasing water daily.

Richard Sanders

Nice roach

stan wilson

It's amazing how arcaic the methods are here in Britain.Other countries with decent governments are a lot more mechanised and efficient

paul scarth

I felt a bit guilty after watching this vid, eating my fish finger and tomatoe sauce sandwich.

lost and confused

Saw the title and thought, fair play, that's a big job for a little lass! 😁

Burton Footballer

The Pike looked particularly pleased being in the net with all the course fish

Arron Frost

Was there no Big Eels in there

Tom Roland

Enjoyed the video. Was a member of a syndicate which had the fishing rights on a small lake. Back then Severn Trent removed a lot of the smaller fish for restocking elsewhere and I remember they used a technique involving passing an electric current throught the water. I know a close eye was kept on them but to be fair it didn't cost the syndicate anything.

Steve Dodson

Was it only me that didnt see any perch?
