| Description |
English: Startopsend Reservoir (Information). See 1413799.
Startopsend Reservoir was opened in 1817 to provide water for the Grand Junction Canal (now the Grand Union Canal). All but the section of the reservoir adjacent to the Marsworth Reservoir dam are in SP9113. Most of Startopsend Reservoir is in Hertfordshire, but the easternmost part is in Buckinghamshire. The following are extracts from the notice board pictured above (erected 2009) which also gives the fishing rules and regulations. The Tring Reservoirs were built to supply water to the Grand Union Canal. Startopsend, built in 1817, has a surface area of 28 acres and holds 106.5 million gallons of water. Marsworth, built in 1806, has a surface area of 24 acres and holds 55.5 million gallons. As well as specimen bream, tench, roach and perch, the reservoirs are also home to some large carp with Startopsend having produced fish to over 40 lbs. In addition, both reservoirs hold large pike with Startopsend having produced fish over 30lbs. Marsworth has also produced a catfish of over 50lbs in weight.
