257 Leeds DASA on the River Swale 2, Helperby & Asenby

[@californiancondor6860]

Just been taken back to my match days in the 60's and 70's. Memories of a river that isn't there any more. The stretch below the bridge at Helperby used to have 7 pegs to the corner and no trees but nevertheless it was always my favourite fishery. Sadly now due to illness I can only fish where I can park the car so thanks Tom for bringing back lots of memories.

My dad was a syndicate member at sheephills for last 10 years. I've been many a time with him and lovely part of the countryside. Lucky man Tom to fish the swale.

Very nice vid Ive always loved Fishing North Yorkshire, as a Lad we had a Bus that took us up there from a local Coach Firm, the owner enjoyed the trips & drove Himself every Sunday but I dont think he ever fished! Anyway thanks for sharing Cheers, Graham.

Doesnt look to be that many fishable pegs at Helperby nowadays.I fished a few club matches in early 80"s on that stretch..I seem to remember there was a small weir also that was packed with chub.

Well Tom, that was a nice break from the 30 degrees on the sun bed here in Ibiza ! Can you do another for next weeks sunbed fix 😉 All the best. Dave R

Hi Rushy. There are two others - Skipton & Myton, and Topcliffe. Have a great time in the sun and don't overdo the sangria.

Charlyfarly2 Well that's today's entertainment sorted then Tom . . . While I'm having a pint of Sangria 😎

Hi Tom how are these private fishing areas enforced from people just fishing and not noing its private ?

[@claytsummer76]

sierra hiker better to presume it's private until you find out.

[@claytsummer76]

Hi Tom I’m heading to the Swale this Saturday for a bit of chub fishing, would you think I’d be better fishing Asenby or Helperby? Thanks

[@Charlyfarly2]

There's not much in it and it depends which pegs are available. Try Asenby first. Next time give Helperby a go if you need some exercise.
