River level

Measured — Environment Agency

Collingham gauge

Nearest EA gauge we've matched — it isn't on this stretch, so levels on your peg will differ.

We don't publish an "ideal level" — nobody can promise one. Flood water is dangerous: if it's up and coloured, stay well back from the edge. Open Collingham on Live River Levels

The lowdown

  • • The stretch sits near Woodhall Bridge, close to East Keswick, in West Yorkshire. The exact location is approximate, so treat the bridge as your central marker rather than a precise peg reference.
  • • West Riding Anglers controls this bit of the Wharfe. The club was established in 1891 and is run by its members for its members — proper old-school club water.
  • • Woodhall is one of five Wharfe areas held by the club. Their named Wharfe waters also include Burley-in-Wharfedale, Harewood and Ozendyke.
  • • The club’s Wharfe fishing covers nearly 10 miles in total. The precise length of Woodhall itself isn’t published, though, and neither is the peg count.
  • • Bank details are not set out for this stretch, so don’t assume both banks are available. The official information doesn’t confirm whether one or both sides are controlled.
  • • There’s a decent mix of fish listed across the club’s Wharfe waters: chub, barbel, dace, grayling, trout, rare bream, roach, perch and pike. That gives the wider water plenty of variety.
  • • Methods are not pinned down for Woodhall. The club says a variety of fishing methods can be used depending on the stretch, so the exact approach needs checking with the club before you head out.
  • • Parking and an access postcode for Woodhall haven’t been published. Woodhall Bridge was reported as closed because it was considered dangerous, so access around the bridge needs care.
  • • No Woodhall-specific night-fishing, close-season, bait or lure rule is published. Stick to the club’s current instructions and check the details before fishing.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: The club says a variety of methods can be used, depending on the stretch. For Woodhall specifically, the method details aren’t published, so check with West Riding Anglers before setting up.
