River Ouse – Newton-on-Ouse

The lowdown

• The boundaries are nice and clear: start at the River Kyle mouth and work upstream to beck end. Those are the limits to keep in mind when picking your spot, rather than treating the neighbouring bank as part of the fishing.
• It’s left-bank fishing across two fields. That gives you a straightforward picture of the layout before you sort your kit: a two-field stretch, not permission to fish both sides of the Ouse.
• Permanent pegs are numbered 1–33, so you’ve got proper peg numbers to work with. The venue description doesn’t pick out particular swims, depths or flow patterns, though, so there’s no named hot peg to point you towards.
• Approach from the Kyle end — that’s the required way in, not just a handy suggestion. Keep that end of the stretch in mind when planning your arrival and getting yourself and your tackle onto the bank.
• Parking is permitted in the lay-by, with additional space in the field car-parking area beside it. Those are the two stated parking options, which keeps that bit of the trip pleasantly straightforward.
• Fancy a late session? Fishing is permitted until 11pm. That’s a useful distinction to get bob on: an evening on the bank is allowed, but the finishing time does not give you permission to stay fishing all night.
• This is yearbook-holder water, not somewhere to turn up expecting a public day ticket. The society also offers a paid guest arrangement, with limits on how often members can bring someone along and proof to carry.

Methods: No particular methods or target species are named in the venue description. There’s no stated depth or flow detail to favour trotting over a feeder, either.

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.
