Thanks Dan , glad you enjoyed it . The quartet of 'anglers' I encountered knew what they were doing and didn't give a monkeys . I challenged them from the other side of the river in a friendly manner only to be greeted with a tirade of abuse , one started to come round to ' word me ' . With a mate of theirs arriving , I decided that discretion was the better part of valour and left . I didn't ring the EA . I have rung on several occasions in the past and despite...

Hi Mike,

Nice article by the way :-)

You should call the EA and say they were targetting silver tourists...... ;-)

Hello Ken . Re Baillifs on YDAA waters . I was asked for my credentials once about 3 years a go at Park view lake - Sand Hutton . Never been approached by a YDAA official on a river bank , not in the last 30 years anyway ! Hope this helps .

Spiros and all,
I shall forward via YDAA the info re guys fishing at Skip bridge and see if the EA can do some visits.I am aware there has been some bailiffs out at Stamford Bridge lately.
Just out of interest could anybody tell me when they last saw a YDAA baliff,its something the committee is looking at and seeing how efficient the team is (or not )as the case may be.It would be interesting to get some real feedback(pm if you wish)
Thanks,
Ken.

Yes you are at the right place there . Pool bridge stretch contains barbel and is well worth a fish

That's the free 'stretch' alright.

Re: RIVER NIDD

feeds@yuku.com (stella fella) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:01:53 GMT

Was i taking about the correct bridge?? There was a space to park the car on the right hand side before i crossed the bridge (the bridge i was at had traffic lights on it). When i looked i saw a Harrogate sign on a large tree is it therefore from the bridge to the Harrogate Anglers sign?

Or am i in the wrong part of the world??

Pool Bridge stretch any good??

cheers Mike/Bnud!

Think the free bit is just right hand bank from
Catal bridge downstream to the large oak,
with the private fishing sign on it.

Re-edited to right hand bank!

Cheers for that , I was not sure which was the correct bank at Cattall , perhaps it's both ?. Re Pool bridge farm , the farm is on the Nun Monkton road , and they do control the nidd day ticket stretch . I just presumed they had a carp puddle as the name rang a bell . I may have put two and two together and made 5 , apologies for any confusion . Bnud , are you sure its the Moor Monkton road ? I am pretty sure it is Nun Monkton , but as is evident I am easily confused !

Amediatley down stream of the bridge(right hand bank) is
the only 'cut' peg on the free bit, does produce barbel i'm
told and I've have seen some nice chub and dace.
As said the Pool bridge farm is on the left hand side off the Nun
Monckton rd, they will direct you to the stretch at the farm, but it's
back on the Nun Monckton rd towards NM and down a lane
off to the right. The comercial puddle is at another Pool bridge
farm t'other...

Stella Fella . Go back in the Nidd archive there is loads of info on the stretches you mention . The Cattal free stretch is immediately downsream from the road bridge in Cattal [ right bank as you look downstream I think ] , less than 75 yards long , no real pegs as such , shallow and weedy .Pool bridge is on the road to Nun Monkton [ turn off A59 vitually opposiste the garage at Skip Bridge ] . Pool bridge Farm is on your left a mile or so down this road , you can't miss it , there is a...

Last close season I came across several anglers fishing on the lower Nidd . One ,with a Bradford no 1 book was adamant that he was perfectly entitled to fish the river as his book said the particular stretch was a ' mixed ' fishery [ i.e trout and coarse fish ] therefore as it was not the close season for trout he could fish with impunity .He freely admitted that he was fishing for anything that came along that took a fancy to his maggots . Re Skip Bridge ,again last close season I...

I guess little will be done again about that spiros!!

Can i ask if one of you can tell me where the free stretch at Cattal is and roughly how many pegs - headed for it about 3 weeks back to have a look - found a bridge with a sign saying Harrogate Anglers (i think) - can anyone help - (postcode/name of road etc etc)??

Has anyone had a go on Pool Bridge Farm stretch?? any good?? again can someone give me some idea of its whereabouts - gonna have a few goes on the day...

I have heard that there were a couple of anglers fishing at Skip Bridge on Sunday all with coarse gear as well.
