River Aire - Funkirk and Niffany Farms
Brief description of fishery:
This is primarily a game water consisting of lengths of 700m on the left bank (facing downstream), and about 450m on the right bank (facing downstream). The waters are immediately downstream of the Gargrave beat (access to both from the Inghey Bridge parking) and are very similar in character. As with all BCAA waters, this is strictly a Catch & Release fishery. Only barbless or de-barbed flies may be used.
