Pool named the Chubbery, river lyne, about a mile and a half upstream of the cliff bridge that is on the a6071. Chub hot spot back in the day, not now !!!

Hi Will get back to you about some pics. I remember the last school summer holidays i had, it was 1975, i used to go down and see the chub sunning themselves in the shallows, i remember there were 20 to 30 of them in this shoal, all 3 to 5lb bracket, i know as i caught a few of them, i used to sneak down and used bread crust as bait, it was great fun, the water was gin clear, you used to see the fish take the bread. There were 2 shoals in our stretch, the other was in a deep pool we called the chubbery. Havent seen a chub in the lyne since the mid 1990's let alone caught one. regards

River Lyne cumbria I am a local Chub, yes Dace,yes Grayling, possible, never seen any though Perch and Gudgeon, no chance, dont know where you have got that from Brown Trout, yes Sea Trout, yes Flounders, yes Eels, yes Salmon, some, not many I have fished the lyne since the early 1970's, since then the river has suffered from cyamag and silage effluent pollution, + electro fishing, people around here dont like coarse fish. in the 70's 5lb + chub were commonplace and a guy killed a 6 and a half pounder whilst fishing for sea trout in a flood. Somebody put some roach in years ago, though i would say they are now long gone. The river appears clean now and apart from some brownies, nothing much is seen. In the 70's the lyne was great,even matches were held on it, now its a shadow of its former self. Desperate for a re stock of chub and dace to bring back the natural balance of the river.

Thanks for the information John, I'm sure it will help others.The species came from the Environment Agency, but sometimes it is in need of a refresh, so we really appreciate comments from locals who know an area well such as yourself. It sounds like this river has had a tough time over the years! If you have any pictures of the area, that would be useful?

The river is still a small bit damaged with manure. Never caught a salmon or seen them running

The Live4 mission

We want this to be the most comprehensive directory of UK fishing locations. We are trying to get every UK Fishery and fishing spot on here, as well as all the best freshwater and sea fishing locations – but we will need help. We currently have nearly 6,000 UK freshwater angling spots listed.

If you know of a fishery or free angling location that is not listed here, please drop us a line with the contact page.

If you are a fishery owner and you would like us to add more information to your listing, just do the same and we will get back to you to sort things out.
