The lowdown

  • This is a proper quiet bit of Wharfe, tucked away near Kearby and Netherby between Collingham and Harewood.
  • The fishing runs along the left bank. The river here has a rural, wooded and secluded feel, so it’s a lovely spot when you fancy getting away from the bustle.
  • The water is approximately 800 metres long. That’s a fair old wander, although the society doesn’t publish a separate peg count for this venue.
  • It’s a mixed coarse and trout venue, giving the stretch a bit of variety rather than being aimed at one style of fishing.
  • The nearby Ebor Way follows the south bank in places, adding to the green, tucked-away character of the area.
  • There are no specific details published on individual swims, depths, glides, creases or river features, so don’t bank on a detailed peg-by-peg layout.
  • Likewise, no separate seasonal tactics are set out for Kearby. The official description simply confirms both coarse and trout fishing.
  • Parking is available in the field beside the river. You’ll need an off-road vehicle to drive down the access track, so a normal car could be a proper faff.
  • Do not park down Pasture Lane. That’s specifically ruled out, so stick to the field parking arrangement.
  • The official postcode is LS22 4BU. Kearby Sands and Netherby Deep are recorded in the same nearby river area, handy landmarks for getting your bearings.

Methods: The facts only confirm that Kearby suits coarse and trout fishing. No specific method, swim or seasonal approach is published for this stretch.

Key rules

  • Leeds & District ASA yearbook holders only.
  • A £7 guest pass is available to an eligible member, subject to the society's conditions.
  • Do not park down Pasture Lane.
  • An off-road vehicle is required to drive down the access track.

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.
