Beat 1
Crowdundle Beck
2 Tokens
Brown Trout
Wading Difficulty 1
400 meters of right bank fishing from the road bridge upstream to the boundary of the woodland.
The Crowdundle Beck, one of the most productive limestone becks draining the southern side of Cross Fell in the North Pennines.
With stunning fly life, this beck is one of the most significant salmon producing tributaries of the Eden catchment, and home to some very nice wild brown trout thank you very much.
I am uncertain of the stocks. The only information I have is that a friend of the land owner fished the beat in August after a spate and caught eight brown trout, all of which were about half a pound. Many of these small Eden tributaries are often best fished after a spate.
Don’t even consider it unless you have a seven foot rod or shorter. It would be a distinct advantage if you could put a good line out in the confines of your garden shed!
