Hi there,
I have just joined this lovely forum looking for some help,
I am an Italian fly river fishing addict and after several years spent in Scotland I have recently moved to Beverley East Yorkshire.
I am desperate to find good trout waters, and since there is not much available around Beverley I have been trying to widen my search. I came across the article about the Esk by Bucko posted on this web site, and the river looks really promising with the kind of fishing I was after.
I was thinking about the Danby stretch, is this the best part of the Esk for some dry fly action for trout?
Are there also any fly fishing clubs I could join? It would be nice to get in touch with some local anglers...sharing knowledge, meeting people and all.

Any other rivers in the area on day permits or reasonable joining fee?
I had a look at the Rye and Derwent but there seams to be very little information available on the web

Thanks a lot to anyone coming to the rescue of a desperate fisherman....

Hi Lele and welcome to the site. Sorry I cant really help with the fresh water stuff but I know Bucko will be back on the forum on Monday if noone is able to offer you some help before then.

Hi Lele,  Have you tried the Driffield area? There is supposed to be some good trout fishing on the  Driffield Beck. Also around Malton you'll find cheap day tickets for the River Rye and Seven.

As stated in previous reply, the Esk has brown trout, sea trout and salmon as well as the odd grayling. The odd person does put stockies in, but is not looked on favourably because of the re-stocking of salmon and sea trout. Brown trout love to feed on young salmon parr. I know of one brown trout that was caught a few years back and it contained 6 young salmon parr in its stomach.

Lele,  I was told that day tickets can be purchased from the petrol station just outside Malton on the York road. I haven't fished it myself, but I walked it last year or the year before and there was some very good grayling tucked away here and there near to Flamingo Land. There is also some really fast stretches that look 'trouty'.

Bucko,
thanks for the link, lots of useful info in there .....great stuff

as per the Danby stretch,
I like to cover a lot of water, therefore a long stretch is what I was after...searching for fish with my wee dries.
I will definitely get up there in April;

thanks to all for the great tips
I hope to meet some of you on the river soon

Lele
