Butterley Reservoir

water managed by Saddleworth Anglers

Directions
Low alkalinity Shallow Moderate shoreline complexity Mid elevation Small

Butterley Reservoir lies at mid elevation. It is a small, rather shallow water of roughly 15 hectares, with low alkalinity. The margins run for about 2.7 kilometres and show moderate variation, the overall plan simple and rounded. The water is clear.

The basin holds an average depth a little over 10 metres, with a fetch close to a kilometre from end to end. As a reservoir it has a regular feel, the shoreline offering enough turns and small features to break the line without complication.
