Fishing

Anglers are well served too. While our own river Dee has proved variable over the past few years, there are three more rivers and 2 still water venues close by.

Rivers to fish near East Catholes include the River Lune, the River Rawthey and its two tributaries, the River Dee and the River Clough.

The migratory trout normally reach the area sometime in June, and salmon generally appear from August.
Changes in flow and depth can be quite dramatic depending on conditions.
If river conditions prove too difficult, you could always try some stillwater fishing at the nearby Killington Lake Reservoir, which is 6 miles away.
For fly fishing, you can visit the 3 lakes at Bessy Beck Trout Fishery, 18 miles away.
