Hi guys new member, looking for advice? I am going to be staying in the pickering area and would welcome any suggestions advice on where i can obtain some fishing on a river nearby.I will be in the area for roughly 1 week and would like to sample a couple of locations if that is at all possible.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Come on guys,someone must know of some fishing near pickering. Or are you always this unfriendly!. Might get a reply now, no offence intended. thought this forum would be helpful. I am only after some sport for a few days while on holiday, is that such a crime?

I don't fish that way as a rule but take a look at this which may be useful.

That seemed to be a good website, most of the rivers covered on it.

You didn't mention anything about what sort of river fishing you were looking for. Are you after salmon, sea trout, brownies, rainbows or coarse fishing.
A little more detail into what type of river fishing you are looking for, may just have got you a quicker response.

Hi,

I live about 4 miles from Pickering - and finding good, easy access fishing for trout on the local rivers is frustrating unless you're a member of a local club (and I've been on a waiting list for a couple of years now...: )

From the list given on the Ryedale website, the Wykeham Lakes dayticket will do 'what is says on the tin' and is about a 20 minute car ride east along the A170. The Pickering Trout Lakes is well used by visitors to the area.

Don't know how the Dalby Beck fishes - the beck is a narrow, shallow water with trees on all sides, could be worth a look, but practise your sidecasting!

Closer to Pickering, the length of the River Seven at Marton on a £3.50 day ticket will get you 'on the water'. The length available is about half a mile. The river here is 15feet wide, max 4 feet deep and is mixed with trout, grayling, roach, dace, chub etc. You can get a good afternoon / evening out of this stretch - and there is a good hatch of mayfly coming off at the moment.

Finally, in the village of Sinnington there is about a quarter of a mile of free fishing on the Seven from the bridge in the middle of the village downstream - similar to the Marton dayticket water.

The contact listed at the bottom of the Ryedale list - Roger Beck - is a top guy and lives about 20 miles from Pickering, he might be worth a direct e-mail.

Good luck with whatever you manage to work out.

Hi Leggfish

Guys, many thanks for the information. sorry if I didnt make myself clear at the start. Thought the user name would have given it away as to what I normally fish for ( brownie ). At work at the moment so will have to go might be able to log in again Sunday.

Once again thanks to all who left information.

Have a look at the is link - it might be what you are looking for.
