This is a River Update thread designed to equipt the curious Angler with recent information on the condition of the the River Ure.

The River's Source shall be talked about later in this thread, but the Yore comes into its own below Appersett and between the high market town of Hawes.

It continues to flow through Wensleydale and various places that shall be talked about at length later, I'm sure. Until it meets its Northern neighbouring river, the Swale at Myton-on-Swale and Ellenthorpe Lodge. Then the Ure flows with the Swale into the Ouse that passes through York and into the Humber where the Trent also joins. Then through the Humber estury and out to the North Sea. It is over 100 miles from the source of the water to its joining of the Sea

The River Levels shall be included when felt necessary and taken from:Environment Agency - River Levels: Swale, Ure, Nidd and Upper Ouse

Please feel free to ask questions, I shall try to respond promptly.
Thanks for visiting

Ure is in spate at the moment, Bainbridge Level hit 1m (3.2ft) Environment Agency - River levels station data
(Bainbridge take a low level usually for some reason)
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk...d=8113Thornton Steward 1.13 m at 6.15pm and finally (in my part of the rivers readings)// Masham is just under a Metre, 0.92 Environment Agency - River levels station data Im sure the spate will catch up with the lower part of the dale tonight.

Good to here stillwater is catching fish on the classical spider. Lovley photos, I notice a bit of a beach in the background looks good spot. Beautiful markings on the fish, no red spots...interesting.

I had great fun earlier in the week with a Coachman worked on its own (8 Brown Trout on Tuesday), today a 10"Grayling Czech nymphing OE hydropsyche size10 on point again, (what fantastic imitations): Essential Skills


Off the thread topic but I had an urge to fish Tanfield Lodge today, £14 bargin, surrounding waters are more expensive with Thornton Steward £18 & Leighton £22 I think (both have gone up in recent years "due to stocking costs", but Tanfield has not) Yet I'm sure others know far more about this than I do. P.S I didnt go today although I felt I should, some time soon I must.
