Birkin Fisheries
Birkin · WF11 9LS
Birkin Fisheries is a small fishery in the village of Birkin, in rural North Yorkshire close to the West Yorkshire border. The water is associated with the River Birkin and holds wild brown trout and rainbow trout alongside coarse species including carp, chub, perch, pike, roach, rudd and tench, giving a genuinely mixed bag for a small venue. Pegs are provided on the bank. Little else about the venue is widely published online, and ticket prices, opening times and booking arrangements are not clearly advertised, so check with the fishery or a local tackle shop before travelling to confirm current access and whether day tickets are available.
