The lowdown
- This is one of two Harewood stretches controlled by West Riding Anglers, with the club’s Wharfe waters adding up to nearly 10 miles overall.
- The reach sits beside the recognisable Harewood Bridge, so it’s a straightforward landmark when working out where the water is.
- A prominent historic weir is the main feature here. Expect a change in flow around the weir, with faster water and likely crease lines worth paying attention to.
- The wider surroundings are classic Wharfe country: wooded banks, open farmland and a proper Yorkshire river feel.
- This Harewood water is upstream of the club’s Woodhall and Ozendyke stretches, giving a useful bit of context within the club’s Wharfe fishing.
- The club describes its Wharfe waters as suitable for a variety of angling methods, depending on the stretch. So trotting, feeder work and other approaches may all have their place.
- Chub, barbel and dace are among the species named by the club across its waters, while grayling and trout add interest where the river runs clean and lively.
- Bream are described as rare. Roach, perch and pike are also named by the club, giving the wider Wharfe portfolio a decent mix of coarse and game fish.
- There is no published peg count or separate stretch length for the Harewood water, so it’s best viewed as a natural river reach rather than a numbered-peg venue.
- This is member-only fishing. No day tickets are allowed, and the club does not publish separate Harewood parking or night-fishing details.
- We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.
Methods: The club says its Wharfe waters suit a variety of angling methods, depending on the stretch. Around a weir, keep an eye on the crease and changing flow, with trotting or feeder work likely to be the sort of flexible approach river anglers enjoy.
