Britaylor   10 #1 Posted August 23, 2019 hi all where are some good places to go pike fishing on rivers in Yorkshire area later this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
charliewag   18 #2 Posted August 23, 2019 The Wharfe around Wetherby/Tadcaster and the Swale at Thornton Bridge, Topcliffe, Morton Bridge, Brompton etc hold some decent pike. It's been a long time since I fished these rivers so i'm not sure which stretches are day ticket. You could search for tackle shops in the area and contact them for information.

Centrepin   0 #5 Posted September 1, 2019 Try Dam Flask its hugely underfished and full of pike. I've had pike to 28lb in the past plus many others.  There are also some huge bream, chub and perch. It used to be a good roach water, but as late they seem to have disappeared.  Depending on who you speak to depends on the advice given. I usually fish in the neck end or basin area. It fishes well throughout the year, but as its huge can suffer from high winds and choppy water.  Most deadbaits work. Ive had a lot of fish on herring. Livebaits are currently not allowed.  Wherever you fish beware of dog walkers, joggers etc as they can be a nuisance.  Other information you can get from the bailiff or Dawsons tackle shop on holme lane.  You could also try Underbank, although I havn't fished it for over 25 years, it used to have a good head of pike into double figures.

Britaylor   10 #6 Posted September 4, 2019 any good localish rivers  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Centrepin   0 #7 Posted September 5, 2019 I'm unaware of any localish rivers, my river pike fishing is normally Fen based. Lincolnshire or Norfolk/Suffolk fens and drains.  Nearest to Sheffield I've piked would be Gainsborough, Saxilby or Newark, all an hour or so.
