Cheddar Waters
An abiding local belief is that Cheddar Water offers two "turning points" to fish, in the corner by the dam and at the far-end point. Cheddar Water offers bank fishermen the ability to cover a range of depths of water from the corner of the dam to the far-end point under the oak tree and provides good access to water throughout the year. As far as boat fishing is concerned, boats the best tactic is either to parallel the bank on a drift or to stand off from the pump outlet in the deeper water.

Cheddar
Water is the area of the lake from the dam to the large oak tree
in the corner and derives its name from the railing-fenced step-like
brick and concrete formation in the middle of the area. This formation
is the pumping outlet from Cheddar reservoir, hence the name of
the area. I can only remember water flowing from this outlet twice
in my entire life at Blagdon following the rainless summers of 1987
and 2002.
