I am returning to fly fishing after an absence of 7 years. Can anyone recommend a still water fishery one ish hours drive from York?

near Harrogate and within an hour (I think).

Also search for Fewston, Swinsty and Thrusscross. I think you can fish all three on the same day ticket.

Ripon area has a smallish lake at Tanfield for very reasonable price. Stocked with the usual blue, rainbows, and browns. Then further north near Northallerton there is Stonebridge Trout fisheries. Both Tanfield and Stonebridge are commercials. Stonebridge is under new management and during my last visit they have added another lake this year. Owner said something about catching carp on the fly..

Good Luck

Jeff, I really appreciate your taking the time to reply - I will now search your ideas. I am really quite desperate to find somewhere - without driving all the way to Pennine/Stocks/Dever/Cold Crag/Hallington - my old haunts.
