Yorkshire Derwent
Anyone familiar with this river?
I will be holidaying south of Malton for a week at the end of March.
Assume that the river is open to fly fishing .
If it’s a close season, there’s not much point in me looking further.

Re: Yorkshire Derwent
I fished at Old Malton a few years ago on a day ticket; very much floatfishing/legering for coarse fish. I believe one of the tributaries has flyfishing though whether tickets are available you'll have to find out.

Re: Yorkshire Derwent

Re: Yorkshire Derwent
I happen to be a long distance member of the Derwent Anglers based in Norfolk.
A great little fly fishing river upstream of West Ayton with many wild trout and grayling.
There are no day tickets but a few days are put for auction in the Wild Trout Auction which only make reasonable money.
Downstream of West Ayton river levels have been very low recently
Hope this helps

Re: Yorkshire Derwent
It looks like standard course close season, so I would fly fish for trout.
Need to find a day ticket water now.
My niece and her intended (we are going up there for their wedding) are local vets so I am hoping they know some riverside landowners.
I would really like to catch a grayling on a fly, I imagine given the close season for course fish it would be accidental :

Re: Yorkshire Derwent
I've fished the Yorkshire Derwent and it's tributaries for over fifty years. There upper stretches of the Derwent in Forge Valley and the upper River Rye are trout waters but access is restricted. There are a few trout and plenty of grayling on the lower Rye and Derwent above Malton. You may be able to get a day ticket at the Providence Inn at Yedingham which is where Jim Bazley fished. If you get stuck you can always get a day ticket to fish the little River Seven as below. Day tickets at Stamford Bridge. York and District AA also have a stretch of the Rye at Newsham Bridge which is slower and contains few trout but there's a good chance of grayling.

Re: Yorkshire Derwent
Fly fishing the Seven (a tributary of the Rye) at Great Barugh isn't an easy job. The river is very narrow, and has very high steep banks. The Rye above and below Newsham Bridge (York DAA water) is a better bet. I fish just above the York stretch, in my own garden and on neighbour's land, and there are trout to be had, including some big ones. And plenty of grayling.

Re: Yorkshire Derwent
If you fancy a "Real challenge", you could always fish for Burbot in the lower reaches of the Yorkshire Derwent.......
