any info on Thorp Perrow

[dani]

Hi,

I'm trying to get back into fishing after a 10 year or so break, I'm now disabled and can't get around far from my car, I remember fishing at Thorp Perrow on the Richmond ticket back then but they no longer have access to the water, I have searched the google but come up with nothing, I was wondering if anyone in here knew who has the waters now.

Thanks

Dani

I've been told that a few have been offered the riparian rights since Richmond gave them up. To my knowledge, no one has taken the offer up.

To be honest, towards the end of Richmond's time, access at Thorpe Perrow was getting poorer. Few were actually fishing it and the undergrowth was steadily taking over. Water levels also had a nasty tendency to veer from too high to too low. Fishable pegs were pretty limited and getting to some of them was difficult. Unless someone has done a fair bit of work down there, I dread to think how bad it might have got by now.

Realistically, if you want a local stillwater with good facilities, easy access and limited walking, you probably need to be looking at day ticket waters. The only club stillwaters that might fit the bill are not in the Bedale area.

Thanks for the reply Sam,I was thinking of thorp perrow because I fished there a long time ago and I'm after fishing a water thats easy accessible and cheap,the oaks is a great place for disabled anglers but I just can't afford to fish there often, the cost soon adds up, its quite odd really last time I fished at woodlands my housemate and me were asked if we were interested in setting up a ladies team, but we both had good jobs and a mortgage etc, now I have all the time in the world on my hands getting fishing is now is difficult and expensive.

So I'm looking for places to fish out the boot of the car on a membership until I can afford some kind of van and mobility scooter to get to other venues, I'm based in Northallerton the local place parklands(Jenkins lake) changed hands and no longer does annual membership, renny lakes is not far I need to take a trip out to look at this and other venues, I have membership at the brickyard at Ripon now and Ripon canals look quite good too, so any suggestions are very welcome, I'm ex RAF to by the way.

I'm ex RAF too, served at Benson on the queens flight and on Benson itself, then mount batten in plymouth at the school of combat survival and rescue until it closed and we moved to st mawgan in Cornwall, along with a few tours in the Falklands 👍👍😉 moulton lane pond is quite good with easy access but he maybe shut at the mo due to current situation 😉

Yarm AA might be worth a look for access to Hanlaby Lake, you can get a day ticket to fish it first if accompanied by a member, could well be worth a look for access etc to see if its easy to get round the lake for you

Secure car parking and constructed pegs to fish off in quite a large lake with a good species head

Less obvious day ticket waters that might be worth a look would certainly include Renny. Add Green Lane Ponds (Scorton), Moulton Lane (Dalton Gates), Southfield Fishery (north of Dishforth Airfield) and Morndyke (near Skipton-On-Swale). As far as club ponds might go, the previously mentioned Yarm Angling for Halnaby Lake (Between Croft and Middleton Tyas) or Thornaby/Richmond for Gilling West. Sadly, quite a few club and day ticket waters in the general area have been lost to fishing entirely. Unfortunately, I doubt that you could genuinely fish from your car boot at any of these fisheries. The best would involve walking at least ten yards or so.

Between the mob and living locally for most of my life, I'd be surprised if we don't have some mutual friends/acquaintances. At very least, we'll both know Scaifey.

Thanks for all the replies, I can see myself joining a few clubs for the next fishing year, I'm itching to get out now, but I have hook lengths and rigs to tie until I get all my tackle out of storage, cheers

it makes sense joining a club when you consider the price ov some ticket waters.4/5 times fishing a ticket water youv paid for your subs for a year.
