 River Wharfe Fishing - Yorkshire Dales Fly Fishing
The River Wharfe is probably the most famous of the Yorkshire rivers, maybe because of the top quality fly fishing it provides, or perhaps because it is surrounded by the most outstanding scenery.
The River Wharfe could be considered more of a trout stream than the River Ure or River Nidd, but it does have good stocks of grayling in places, particularly from Ilkley downstream and in decreasing numbers upstream of Ilkley.
The River Wharfe at Bolton Abbey is particularly suitable for the beginner and for instruction in river fly fishing, with well defined pools, relatively easy wading and good stocks of trout and grayling that respond to most methods of fly fishing.
