Our waters include 2 lakes & 8 miles of outstanding wild brown trout & grayling fishing on Pickering & Thornton Beck, at the foot of the North York Moors.
@HarryPeetTV@pickeringfish Massive congrats to @FishLegal_@pickeringfish when I filmed at Costa beck what I witnessed & filmed underwater was truly appalling, despite being waste deep in sewage and silt , pleased to have supported this through my filming. Costa beck was the pinnacle of grayling fishing
I'll be asking about the idiotic Labour appeal re #CostaBeck today in a Lords' Lib Dem debate on the growing challenges of the effects of climate change on natural ecosystems.
And I've warned the Minister I'll be raising it so she is forewarned and can give me a proper answer.
1 of 2 Did you all watch Joe Lycett Vs Sewage tonight/last night? If not, why not! We've all got to put the pressure on the water companies, DEFRA the EA, Government, and our politicions, which included our local councillors to hold these companies to account.
We're back in the High Court with @pickeringfish
on Monday for another showdown with @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency.
In November, we got a judgment that questioned the Government's entire approach to river basin management planning.
Wonder if they'll try to appeal...
BREAKING: THIS IS BIG! Judgement today in our judicial review with @pickeringfish against @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency.
WE WON!🎉
In one of the most significant UK rulings affecting water protection policy in years.
Welcome to your new role @SteveBarclay.
A mega thread... 🧵
Tough guiding on a @WildTroutTrust Auction Day at Pickering Beck yesterday; low water & the chilly NW breeze killed off the expected Mayfly hatch with just a handful of duns & spinners late in the afternoon. Despite less than perfect conditions Richard managed to land 15 trout!
@ATFreshwater @GetIntoFishing Here is one from a member, taken on one of our ponds. It was a pea souper on the drive up the valley, but a fabulous autumnal day at the top. 👌
@WildTroutTrust Guiding a Wild Trout Trust Auction day on Pickering Beck yesterday. Despite limited fly life (the Mayfly is just about over) & few risers Bernard had a great day landing over 20 trout & a grayling, mainly on Caddis imitations. https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3
Pickering beck is very low & clear but fishing v well. Fish rising to Dance flies & the first Mayflies. Use light lines, long leaders with size 18 & smaller flies unless the fish are really taking the big Mayflies. Fishing this afternoon was great. https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3
Challenging guide day for #WildTroutTrust auction winner, Ian on #Pickering Beck. Cold wind, low water & few risers. We had a no. of wild trout & grayling, to dry flies. Ian so impressed with the beck he's thinking of joining the PFA & he lives in Suffolk! https://t.co/yiVhbTdvk3
7 degrees C, raw east wind, very low water, no flies hatching but #PickeringBeck still produced to the dry fly for new member Mark & Dave Southall during a short afternoon session. 8 fish between them. https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3
New PFA members, Mark & Chris, had a great session late afternoon on Pexton. Best rainbow 5lb 2oz, best brown 3lb 2oz...oh and there are a few spaces available to join 👍 https://t.co/WA4u2JEGY3 located in #ryedale near #pickering and #Kirkbymoorside
