River Rye

Description

The River Rye in North Yorkshire offers a classic small stream fishing experience. Managed by the YDAA, this stretch extends from Barugh Bridge to where it meets the River Rye. While the fish here may not set records, anglers find plenty of challenges navigating the narrow waters. Whether you're trotting with a centrepin, using light floats and maggots, or trying your hand at fly fishing, the River Rye provides a varied and engaging environment.

Access

Day tickets are available through the usual outlets, making it straightforward to plan your visit. Keep in mind that this venue caters more to roamers rather than those who prefer a stationary setup with a trolley and extensive gear. It’s a place where you can move along the stream and find the best spots to cast your line.

Fish Species

Anglers at the River Rye can expect to encounter a diverse range of species. From native brown trout and greyling to dace, chub, and pike, there's a good mix for everyone. The fish are often spotted in the lower reaches during summer, providing great sport for those who enjoy the thrill of the catch.
