River Lune Halton top beat

Halton top beat has long slow deep pools, Which are not suited to salmon fly fishing except in high water. It is a very good high water beat and many fish are caught in spinning when other beats are not fishable. Salmon can be caught on the fly during high flows, as the river levels fall shrimp fishing is more successful. Fly-fishing for sea trout at night works well.

There are twelve rods available daily. Left bank from 50 metres above forge weir to Escow Beck. Salmon fly and spin only until June 16th all legal methods thereafter. Parking is available in the Hermitage car park on the Halton road. No wading or fishing beyond the central line of the river on the Halton beats.

River Lune Skerton beat

Both banks from marker post below Carlisle Bridge upstream to Howe Ghyll Beck. The bottom part of this beat is tidal and has some excellent fly water with the Area below the weir between the black and white and red and white marker posts fly only. No fishing is allowed between the black and white marker posts and weir. AlI legal methods are allowed on other areas of this beat. Often the best "taking time" in the tidal area is the hour beibre the tide reaches the beat, it does not fish very well over high water so it is worth checking tide tables before visiting Skerton. Salmon and sea trout use the tide to run the weir with only small neap tides not reaching the beat. There are six rods available to salmon and trout anglers daily. Coarse angling is allowed above Skerton Weir. Parking is available on riverside roads, Car park opposite kingsway centre and Lansil Industrial Estate.
