Bank fishing only
Double bank

Addingham Angling Association controls two sections of the River Wharfe at Addingham. The main stretch runs from upstream of the pumping station on Bolton Road downstream to Olicana Caravan Park, and much of it can be fished from both banks. A further section opposite Low Mill is for members only. In all the club has about 1.5 miles of trout and grayling fishing.

A day ticket costs £15, but only two are issued each day, plus three more reserved for residents of Addingham parish, so it pays to book early on the club’s website. Fly and bait are both allowed. Fishing is catch and release, with one rod and barbless hooks, and there is no spinning.
