Smithies Reservoir is a fishing water managed within the Barnsley borough of South Yorkshire, listed among the council-recognised angling sites in the area. It sits near the S71 1PF postcode, accessible via Woodstock Road off the A635.

As with other Barnsley council-associated waters, anglers need both a valid fishing licence and a day or season ticket to fish here.

Ticket charges are set by the club holding the fishing rights, and night fishing is not permitted without written permission from that club.
