About Helwith Bridge Fly Fishery

Helwith Bridge Fly Fishery is a 4.5 acre spring fed lake on Austwick Road near Settle, in the Yorkshire Dales, with views of Pen-y-ghent. The water is up to 30 feet deep and clear, and it is stocked with rainbow trout.

It is open every day of the year from 8am to 8pm, and the owners ask you to let them know your plans in advance. Tickets are catch and release only: eight hours at £25, five hours at £20, or an evening ticket from 4pm to 8pm at £15, with discounts for groups of three or more on the eight hour ticket. Fishing is fly only with barbless hooks.

There is good parking, clean banks and toilets, and the Helwith Bridge Inn is a short walk away. Park at the public car park opposite the inn and walk up the lane to the lake.
