Cottingley Bridge – Bingley
This water has recently been stocked with Barbel and should offer some good sport in the near future.
Other main species include Grayling, Trout, Chub, Roach, Dace, & large Pike.
The Rugby Club length offers good Chub fishing, and all three stretches offer good Fly Fishing for Trout.
