River Ouse – Linton-on-Ouse (Top)

Linton-on-Ouse (Top) is Leeds and District Amalgamated Society of Anglers’ left-bank stretch of the River Ouse, covering two fields downstream of Hunters Lodge. It’s yearbook-holder water, with permanent pegs numbered 232–263 — not a public day-ticket stop.

Run by Leeds and District Amalgamated Society of Anglers · checked 5 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • Get your bearings from Hunters Lodge: the fishery takes in two fields downstream, all on the left bank. That’s the layout to keep in mind when finding this particular bit of the Ouse.
  • Permanent pegs run from 232–263, so you’ve got proper numbered reference points along the stretch. Keep those numbers handy rather than confusing the Top water with another bit of river around Linton.
  • Look for the notice board marking the entrance. Access is restricted to anglers, so this isn’t somewhere to bring a non-fishing party along for a riverside wander while you settle into a peg.
  • Sort your yearbook before heading over. This venue is listed for yearbook holders only, not public day tickets, and society membership runs from 1 January to 31 December rather than a rolling twelve months.
  • Bringing a fishing mate? The society offers a £7 accompanied guest pass, and Linton isn’t among the stated exclusions. Members can pay to bring a guest three times a year; junior members can’t take guests.
  • Give the airfield car park a miss — parking there is prohibited. Vehicles can use the grass verge provided they’re clear of the road, with additional parking down the lane to the fishery.
  • At the fishery, reverse your car towards the hedge and remember parking is at the owner’s risk. A little care getting parked keeps that part of the trip straightforward, without any unnecessary faff.

Methods: Keep the tackle plan flexible: the venue description doesn’t specify depths or name fish to target. There’s no stretch-specific steer here towards trotting, feeder fishing or another particular approach.

Key rules

  • Access is restricted to anglers.
  • The venue is for yearbook holders, not public day-ticket fishing; accompanied guest passes are available under society conditions.
  • Parking in the airfield car park is prohibited.
  • Vehicles parked on the grass verge must be clear of the road.
  • Cars at the fishery must be reversed towards the hedge.

  • Guest-pass proof of purchase must be carried on the fishing day.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
