  River Ure Fishing - Yorkshire Dales Fly Fishing
The River Ure is unique among the main Yorkshire Dales rivers in that it does not share its name with the dale that it flows through e.g.
The middle Ure here is a medium sized river with fantastic hatches of fly right through the season, but with particularly good hatches of large dark olive, yellow may dun, pale wateries, stoneflies and sedges.
With all of the best fly fishing on the River Ure unavailable to day ticket visitors it is essential to have a guide who has access to these areas if you are to make the most of your visit to Wensleydale or fly fishing holiday.

 Ouse - LoveToKnow 1911
Below St Ives the river debouches suddenly upon the Fens; its fall from this point to the mouth, a distance of 55 m.
The river Ure, rising near the N.W. boundary of the county in the heart of the Pennines, and traversing the lovely valley famous under the name Wensleydale, unites with the river Swale to form the Ouse near the small town of Boroughbridge, which lies in the rich central plain of Yorkshire.
The chief tributaries are the Nidd, the Wharfe, the Don and the Aire from the W., and the Derwent from the N.E., but the detailed consideration of these involves that of the hydrography of the greater part of Yorkshire (q.v.).

 Cruising Notes - BW Rivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
A canal and river licence enables a vessel to be used on any BW waterway, whereas a river-only 'pleasure boat certificate' is valid only on specified river waterways, and costs 60% of the cost of a full 'licence'.
A common criticism of the BW river permit scheme is that although the pleasure boat certificate is valid on all BW river waterways, it is often impractical to cruise on more than one of them owing to their unconnected geographical locations.
This river is accessible from seaward via Bristol Docks and is the closest BW river to the river Severn.

 Swale Way Walking Holiday Yorkshire Dales National Park
Walking the length of a river to its source, as explorers have been doing since the earliest of times, is always a magical prospect.
The Swale Way, which traces the course of the River Swale from its confluence with the River Ure in the Vale of York to its source in the windswept hills above Swaledale, is particularly enchanting.
From here, the trail returns to the river and follows footpaths linking pretty stone-built villages dotted along the dale to the hamlet of Keld and the gathering grounds of the Swale, through a landscape of drystone walls, flower-filled meadows and tiny field barns.

The number of parr (juvenile salmon) seen in the River Ure, a tributary of the Ouse, doubled this year on 2004's figure, says the Environment Agency.
David Morley, the Environment Agency's officer in charge of fish stocks on the rivers Ure and Nidd, both tributaries of the Ouse, said: "The figures for this year's salmon parr survey were very good.
"However, this is very encouraging news for the future of the Ure and Ouse as self-sustaining salmon rivers, and shows we're doing the right things," he added.
