Nice little river

[flynndog 543]

Had a walk with kids and just happened to spot a couple of salmon in a little river about 10/12foot wide looked it up and it's a free stretch that's supposed to hold good numbers of grayling and trout too .... feel an afternoon fishing coming on Sat if I get chance

Sounds nice. Wish we had free salmon rivers round here!

It's not a salmon river as such but have made big comeback in the last 5 year

That sounds good, the work the EA are doing with the fish passes is great. I suspect iv seen salmon jumping wiers a few times this year too on the Aire.

Very hit and miss! Some big fish in there but typicall aire - infested with minnows! Some nice bream, People catch a few suprises from there.

That's where I took my young nephews last year. They loved it minnow fishing. I have many memories from this area over the years. Great place!
