Beat 14
Crowdundle Beck: Acorn Bank
2 Tokens
Brown Trout
Wading Difficulty 2
Double bank and approx 400m of single bank fishing.
Crowdundle
Another productive Pennine beck, but this time flowing through the delightful grounds of Acorn Bank, on National Trust property. Try not to hook a visitor please; and watch out for the Himalayan Balsam, we don’t want that moved!
Stocks
They are there, we have seen them! There is a very frequent otter who thinks so too.
Useful Info
Acorn Bank has a shop and café.
Access and Directions
Parking is located near Millrigg bridge, Access is from the A66 west of temple Sowerby, just east of where the road crosses the Eden, signposted to Culgaith. Just before you reach Millrigg bridge turn right onto a small road towards Acorn bank, immediately on the left here is the Go Wild parking in the lay-by. The Token box and Beat Start sign are also placed here just above the bridge and are affixed to a post.
From hear there is around 400m of single river bank fishing on the right hand side when looking upstream. After this stretch by the Acorn bank outer wall, the fishing becomes double sided for the rest of the beat. At the end of this beat section there is a short length of wooden stock fence either side of the river with a Beat End sign attached to it.
