if its a bit of wild fishing your after...

get yourself to cow green... hoy a fiver in the 'honesty box' - if you can find it! (don't look too hard though!) and fill your boots. never seen another soul there whenever I've been

so honest is the honesty box, I just checked and its now 8 whole quid! you can (officially) take 8 fish and relesae as many as you can catch after that

unofficially I've come home with more than that on the odd (!) occasion and had sessions where I've caught 50 or 60 fish in a long afternoon.

no farmed rainbows in there, all wild brownies, hundreds of little uns - half pound to a pound, but a good number of big uns as well

the car park is about a third of the way up the right hand side of the photo below, the best fishing is at the far end. some of the bays on the right on the way to the far en are ok too, but I always hike to the far end, where the river runs in and cross over to fish the opposite side. the first few hundred yards of that bank from the river onwards
