i have fished Thrybergh several times and have always found it a pleasant and productive fishery both wet and dry flies work well especially off doncaster point.the water is well stocked with browns and rainbows and offers excellent sport.i think that £10.50 for four hours fishing with a 2 fish limit and catch and release thereafter is excellent value for money.

It’s a venue that we need to get down and fish at some point. I’ve heard that you’re allowed to use float tubes, if that’s the case still I reckon I might give it a go this season.

i couldnt say if float tubing is allowed but i cant see why not as there does not seem to be any boats available for hire (or there definately wasnt when i fished it in september 2010) which is a shame as a boat would be an excellent oppurtunity to cover all the water.i must ad at this point that im a releative newcomer to fly fishing having only started in may 2010 so if i can catch here anyone can.on a different tack,if you know of any river fishing on the fly in this area id be more than happy to recieve same

Hi
I have fished this water regularly over the last 8 years. The water is good on weekday evenings when there are few walkers around. Saturday’s and Sunday’s are very difficult in the summer months unless you float tube. Float tube is allowed four a few pounds extra season tickets are very good value. You will need black buzzers, hoppers and damsels work well. Also for a bit of fun try a huge purple buzzer (not joking either) I have seen huge rainbows and blues fall for this blizzard fly. A old gent who is safely no longer with us Harry Dawson once caught a beauty over 9lb

Oops just realised I have made a few typos. Safely should be sadly and blizzard should be bizarre
