 Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales is an area of great natural beauty in northern England, a large part of which has been designated as one of England and Wales' protected national parks.
Throughout the dales, fields and pastures are bounded by distinctive white drystone walls which criss-cross the hillsides in elaborate patterns; set against the limestone cliffs and escarpments these walls (which were originally built by sheep farmers in days gone by) look almost a natural part of the limestone scenery as viewed today.
To the south west and the south lie the wild heather moors of Bronte Country and the industrial conurbation of West Yorkshire - including the cities of Leeds and Bradford (which was nominated to be a contender for the title of European City of Culture in 2008).

Here in North Yorkshire, England, we are extremely fortunate to have some of the finest wild brown trout and grayling rivers in the UK.
The Yorkshire Dales rivers flow through limestone country, which raises the PH value, providing the perfect habitat for invertebrates and the trout and grayling which feed upon them.

 Yorkshire Dales Green Lanes Alliance YDGLA
Obviously, they were never designed with modern motor traffic in mind, but because of the peculiarities of highway law, if a horse and cart legally used a green lane 2 centuries ago, a convoy of motor bikes and 4 wheel drive vehicles can use it today.
Off-roading destroys the fragile surfaces of the lanes, and disturbs the peace and tranquillity that is essential to the character of the National Park and the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It is becoming plain that the YDGLA expresses the views of a very wide range of opinion in the Dales – from both residents and visitors.

 Yorkshire Dales
The limestone rivers of the Yorkshire Dales (in the North of England) are very special flyfishing waters, very different to the chalkstreams of the south but of equal appeal to the fly fisher.
Traditionally Dales Trout fishing is about wading in clear streams, swinging a team of Spider pattern wet flies into a pool at the end of a gravely run, but the quality of the dry fly fishing is often exceptional and provides superb sport especially in the evenings.
This long experience means that Steve knows the Dales waters very well and can advise and instruct on the best locations, fly fishing techniques and flies to use for success in all river conditions and in all seasons.
