Dan_R Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Can anyone reccomend any spots to fish the Don at Penistone or surrounding areas? Recently moved to Penistone and would be interested to hear if there is any decent fishing about. Not interested in lake fishing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliewag Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 your best bet is to walk the river bank searching out likely spots. better still, travel light with one rod and the bare essentials and give each swim 20 mins. before moving on. that part of the river will hold mainly trout and grayling.

Rand0lf_Rand0lf Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Now claimed by Upper Don Fly Fishers I think? In my 15 years on the Upper Don I've only ever seen 5 fly fishers on that area of the Don. They could do with removing obstacles as outlined with their tenure...

charliewag Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Tin Mill have the stretch of river which runs behind Back Dam ( Bramalls ) at Thurgoland. As well as trout and grayling there's a resident shoal of chub. There's a car park next to the road bridge near to Wortley Top Forge, it's a short walk to the river from there. The Tin Mill website will tell you how much of the river they run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand0lf_Rand0lf Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Is there such a thing as a map of who claims which stretch? I have looked in all over (yorkshire water, the club / syndicate website) without luck. Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Spanner Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Fished all around Neepsend and good sport to be had with decent grayling and some very big brownies. I fly fish it and nearly always catch as long as it’s not during or after a surge… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
