Fishing is a popular sport in Yorkshire. As you would expect, its broad canals and winding rivers teem with trout, grayling, salmon and eels as well as the expected roach, perch, pike and chub. There can be nothing better than spending a day in Yorkshire’s stunning countryside waiting for a fish to bite.
