River Aire – Kildwick to Steeton
Brief description of fishery:
A mixed fishery and probably one of our most underfished venues. Fishing on the right bank (facing downstream) stretching from the confluence with Eastburn Beck on the right down 650 metres to a culvert entering from the right. Access is tricky but rewards can be great for those wishing to wade carefully. As with all BCAA waters, this is strictly a Catch & Release fishery. Only barbless or de-barbed flies may be used.
Open for fishing:
March 25 to the following March 14th
Special rules for this fishery:
