The lowdown
- This is the Myrtle Park length on the River Aire in Bingley, West Yorkshire, with the upstream boundary including Myrtle Park.
- The right-bank section runs downstream towards Gas Pipe Bridge, while the left-bank water sits alongside the Riverside Walk below Ferrands Arms Car Park.
- Beckfoot Pedestrian Bridge is one boundary for the described sections, so it’s worth checking the club map before setting up.
- There’s public-park and riverside-path access around the Myrtle Park section. Handy, though expect a bit of passing foot traffic.
- The club also lists a Congs, Cricket Field length below Myrtle Park. That one is on the right bank downstream.
- It’s mixed coarse and game fishing, with all three listed Bingley stretches offering fly fishing for trout. Nice bit of flexibility there.
- Recently stocked barbel are among the main species, with chub, roach, dace, grayling and trout also named by the club. Large pike are reported too.
- The Rugby Club length is noted for good chub fishing, while Myrtle Park gives access to one of the club’s three Bingley River Aire stretches.
- Tackle-wise, the water is set up for both coarse and game approaches. Think feeder or float work for the coarse fish, with fly tackle an option for trout where conditions suit.
- Sort your ticket before the first cast. The electronic receipt needs to be with you while fishing, either on your phone or as a printed copy.
Methods: A proper mixed-water session is on the cards here: coarse tactics for barbel, chub, roach and dace, or fly fishing for trout. Keep the fly gear handy and choose your approach around the bit of water you’re fishing.

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.
