River Ouse – Nidd Mouth

River level

The lowdown

• This is proper river-mouth country, where the Nidd joins the Ouse near Nun Monkton. The setting is lowland, rural and edged by farmland.
• The fishing runs along approximately 1,000 yards of right bank. That’s the key bit to remember when planning your walk and choosing a swim.
• Access is approached from Moor Monkton village, with the official venue postcode listed as YO26 8JB. Follow the society’s directions carefully — it’s rural and the approach roads are limited.
• The Nidd car park is roughly 200 yards beyond the cattle grid on the left. There’s also a gated compound farther along the track, but it only holds around four cars.
• Laund House Farm yard offers another parking option. Red House Lane has limited parking near its barrier too, so there are choices, but none should be treated as unlimited.
• Cars must go in the designated compounds shown on the venue map. No chucking the motor wherever there’s a bit of grass — that’s a proper access rule here.
• The official venue page doesn’t publish a peg count, so this isn’t a numbered-peg setup in the information provided. Pick your swim with the river-mouth character and right-bank layout in mind.
• Fishing is permitted until 11pm. That is the stated finishing time; the venue information does not separately confirm night fishing.
• There’s no published species list for this exact stretch, and no specific method list either. The important lowdown is the Ouse setting, the Nidd confluence and the need to work within the society’s access arrangements.

Methods: The checked information doesn’t specify particular methods, swims or seasonal approaches. Treat it as a right-bank river-mouth stretch and stick closely to the venue access directions and fishing cut-off.

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