Fly and worm only, no maggot! I checked it out last year! Lovely little river to trot a worm tip down, few nice little glides

give the pool a try aswell at lealholm,below the stepping stones to bridge is free fishing,that pool is a cracking holding spot for the migratory's.
also some free water at glaisdale,above bridge to 300 yds upstream,cracking fly water jim.

dont know what the otter population has done,been a long time since i fished the esk.last time i was along there i seen a lot of otter tracks.got talking to some locals and they said they sit in there back gardens watching them,so what impact its had i wouldnt know.
was a cracking river though for the runs of sea trout yrs back,most if not all of the trophy matches we fished would be won by a sea trout or 4.my biggest of there was around 5lb fishing into dusk on a freelined worm when i was about 13,seen a mate hit and lose a really big fish ide estimate to be a low double.
never seen anyone fish that beat like norman wickman,he knew his stuff on there and the fly fishing to watch was amazing,picked a lot up of norm who became a very gd family friend,but a master angler.
