The fishery is run from a purpose built angling centre where licences, permits and fishing tackle can be purchased and where boats and rods can be hired, Buoyancy aids are now available free of charge. Visiting anglers are advised to read the full list of rules governing the fishery before starting to fish.

The reservoir is fly-fishing only (no bait fishing), with a two trout bag limit and no shore fishing is permitted. 11 boats are available for hire (max. 3 rods per boat).
