pike at nostell priory

[the durham digger 127]

I have heard that nostell priory has a decent head of big pike, iv even heard it described as possibly yorkshires best pike venue. Has anyone fished this place?, what size pike are known to be in? Is this water still on the wakefield book and if not who has it? Thanks.

Never actually got round to fishing this place but ive heard theres some monsters in there, my brother and i used to fish a place called Fairburn ings which held a few (free fishing) but a syndicate took over that and put a few restrictions on .

fairburn ings !!!!, the place crawls with RSPB tossers

it never seems to be over fished though

in all the years we fished there we only once had the warden say something to us (fishing being cruel ect, and hed ban us all if he could) . After telling him to go away (understatement) we never got no grief again.

By road

 

Leave the A1 at junction 42 for the A63, and follow signs for Fairburn village on the A1246. Once in the village turn right at Wagon and Horses public house. At the T-junction turn right, and the visitor centre is 1.5 miles on the left.

Remember fishing is at the opposite end to the visitors centre down cut lane i think they call it.
