About the River Lune
The River Lune is 53 miles long. It begins as a stream at St Helen’s Well, Newbiggin, in the parish of Ravenstonedale in Cumbria, and runs south through Lunesdale, the Lune Gorge at Tebay and the wide valley of Lonsdale. It passes Kirkby Lonsdale, crosses into Lancashire and goes on through Caton, where the Crook o’ Lune is a well known bend, to Lancaster. The river is tidal only below Skerton Weir in Lancaster, and it meets the Irish Sea at Plover Scar, below the city.
The Lune is a salmon and sea trout river, with brown trout as well.
The fishing is held by clubs and a trust. The Lune Rivers Trust manages three Environment Agency owned beats on the lower river, at Halton and Skerton, and sells them by the day. Lancaster and District Angling Association holds a stretch of the lower river for members and sells weekday day tickets for its Caton beat, and other clubs fish the river further up.
Check the details for the stretch you plan to fish.
