Nidderdale Angling Club

Nidderdale Angling Club controls around 7 miles of fishing on the River Nidd and Scar House Reservoir. Fishing is centred around the pretty village of Pateley Bridge, in the Yorkshire Dales. The River Nidd has a good population of Wild Brown Trout and wild Grayling. Scar House Reservoir, located at the very head of Nidderdale, is an upland Wild Brown Trout fishery.

Nidderdale Angling Club is justifiably proud of its long history and traditions. The club was formed in 1897 by a group of local anglers in the Old Oak Inn, in the village of Low Laithe, near Pateley Bridge. Today the club is still providing fine Brown Trout and Grayling fishing for local and visiting anglers, and with a constitution that looks to continue this for future generations by good fishery management and by adopting rules, by-laws, and policies that encourage angling practices sympathetic to the conservation of fish species native to the river.
