River Ouse Acaster
A very long, members-only stretch of the tidal River Ouse, with YDAA controlling the right bank from Naburn Weir to the Old Salmon Hut. The weir pool is the real draw, with roach, skimmer bream, chub, barbel and river carp on the cards.

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.
