Anything in reach of Hull?

[TonyM]

Returned from USA last Autumn, now living in Hull during the week, looking for contact with a local fly fishing club and/or recommendations for where to fish for an afternoon/evening off - i.e not too long a drive.

Small river trouting has always been my thing, but any good fly fishing in pleasant surroundings wanted. Any local fishing partner a bonus.

Look forward to any suggestions!

Get hold of Mathias who frequents these forums. If you can't find his details give me a private message and I will pass on his details to you. He is in Hull and loves fly fishing.

I used to fish Toft Newton & a regular was from that side of the humber,You could also look at river fishing as there is a chalk stream in that area.

Thanks - Mathias suggested Wansford to the north and I expect to check out this and Toft Newton over the next week or so.

I have never done any fly fishing in the Hull area, but grew up fishing all the ponds and drains it has to offer. Im sure theres a Fishery in woodmansy off the Hull Beverley road (not the A1079). If not 1/2 an hour away in elvington nr York I used to fish for Carp at a water and the owner had a couple of trout lakes as well. let me know if you want the name and I'll try to dig it out. Hope this is of some help. Let me know if you find anywhere as I may have a fish when I visit relatives.

Just catching up with things after a new year trip to Wansford.
Also found out about Star Carr at Brandesburton www.starcarr.co.uk/
If anyone out there wants to meet up at any of these venues on a weekend, let me know.

Have a run out to the Malton area and check out the River Severn. You can get day tickets for grayling locally.

Star Car looks like my vision of Hell - "I've told you once stop casting into my pocket!"

Might as well do the 'fun fishing' at Pickering.
