The river wild

Recent work to rehabilitate Eastburn Beck (River Aire, Yorkshire), led by one of our northern Conservation Officers, Jonny Grey, and in partnership with the Environment Agency, has had a fair bit of coverage via these news pages, via the WTT blog, and via social media.

It has also received some fabulous coverage in the mainstream media, via The Yorkshire Post Saturday magazine and even beyond the borders of that great county, nationally via The I, courtesy of our talented writer chum, Andrew Griffiths. Jonny spent a great day with Andrew and with renowned Yorkshire fly-fishing guide, Stuart Minnikin, who made his first forays into fishing on Eastburn Beck.

If you missed either of those articles, we have permission from the Yorkshire Post to make the PDF available, here.

And, if you want the fisherman’s version of that story, then do keep a look out for the upcoming December/​January issue of Fieldsports Magazine in which Andrew puts a slightly different slant on the day.
