lol id not live here but for the wife not wanting to move o well bit of driving to be done then

Are there not a couple of chalk streams in Lincolnshire somewhere?

well i heard there was but so far i cant find anything on it???

All I know about them is one solitary sentence in wikipedia (so it must be true):

"There are several small chalk streams in the Lincolnshire Wolds including Waithe Beck and the River Bain."

Couple of references here...

Chalk Streams

and

Wild Trout Trust

Ive not been but I did find this - has a stretch of river

Withern Mill Trout Farm and River Great Eau - fly fishing in Lincolnshire, East Midlands, England


And this on JAT's homepage http://www.jtflyfishingtuition.co.uk...iver%20eau.htm and an old thread River Fly Fishing Lincolnshire

kool if thats right then the Waithe beck is only 20 odd miles from me....time for a drive i do think

I read the title to this thread, and if you weren't already talking about Lincolnshire, I would have had to correct you - it is a toughie having just moved down from Edinburgh where I had the choice of rivers within easy reach!!

There is a syndicate on the Gt Eau near Alford. The Gt Eau is a small, but healthy chalkstream! I have yet to fish it having only just joined.

Waithe Beck is another I've heard of but no direct contacts for fishing have yet materialised

I'm told some opt for the 2 hour drive over the Humber bridge to Driffield Beck in the North York Moors. Yorkshire is the nearest honey pot it seems!!

I join you as a fellow River Fly nomad!!

My dog cowers at the sound of the Eurofighter on test flights around the (Bomber) County, and low flying C130 Hercules!!

It seems the fly fishing highlight anywhere north of Lincoln is a concrete bowl near Market Rasen akin to Walthamstow - nothing wrong with that some might say - but a high moorland stream it is not!!
