Walked a good stretch today and the river is already low and clear.
Lets hope this little Yorkshire gem throws up some surprises. Tight lines to all Ken |

Evening chaps,
I walked along from Kirk Hammerton towards Skip Bridge this afternoon (or tried!). It felt like I was starring in an episode of "Lost" in that jungle! It's not for the faint hearted is it! Respect to those of you who fish that stretch! I was looking to broaden my horizons this season and try pastures new. I think I'll have to add a little more tackle to my rucksack, i.e. machete (only kidding!). Are there any lost tribes out that way? Good luck all. I'm starting on familiar ground tomorrow on the Ouse but I'll be back on the Nidd before long. Steve |

Good luck on the ouse Red - may see you there. I understand that a few locals from cattal were firing arrows at a Jet2 Flight going over recently.

Geoff,
I'm going to be aroundabout the YDAA/LDAA sections on the Ouse tomorrow on the right bank. I think I'm still going to get stung by nettles tomorrow! I managed to get thwacked in the face by some today which was an interesting experience! I've got my shield in case any of those arrows come my way! Much like yourself, I'm looking forward to being back on the river and any fish will be a bonus for the day! Tight lines. Steve |

Mike,
You're absolutely right!! One day maybe though! I fancy a very "light" trip down that one to see what I can pick up. Steve |

No leon blanked on the ouse. I think you did well to get a fish in these low conditions
Red I think I may have spotted you today were you walking across the field with a Korum rucksack as I arrived? You turned upstream when you got to the river. Trying the swale tomorrow but I know it won't be easy. Will take the lure rod out for pike on the ouse thursday if no barbs tomorrow. geoff |

I'm off the mark thank god!!
1 Barb for me (6lb 9oz) - mint condition if very lean will easily be 8lber after a good munch - it was apparently the only barb out of the stretch all day - approx 12 fishing. |

Oh well, opening day on the Nidd, a very overgrown LDAA section and a blank, not just a barbel blank but a total blank. Had a couple of chub knocks first 2
chucks and that was it. Mate of mine also tried a different more popular LDAA section on the Nidd, he caught the same as me. Going to try Wharfe and Ouse for
next 2 days, looks like heavy rain Wed, should help.
