Nidderdale, North Yorkshire
Wild brown trout and grayling on the River Nidd, and wild brown trout at Scar House Reservoir.
Our Waters
The river
Rain-fed from the peat of Great Whernside, the Nidd carries its characteristic “Yorkshire Bitter” colour. Our fishing starts below Gouthwaite Reservoir and runs, almost continuously, downstream to Dacre Banks, mostly under a canopy of alders.
The reservoir
Wild brown trout fishing at the very head of Nidderdale, with Great Whernside and Little Whernside as the backdrop. Peace, quiet and virtual solitude, broken only by curlew, lapwing and other upland birds.
