Top 5 Fishing Destinations in Goole
Are you looking for the ultimate angling experience in Goole, Yorkshire? Look no further! As we prepare our brand new fishing tackle store in Goole (due to open in late May 2023), we look at some of the best fishing locations in the area. Here are the top 5 places to fish in Goole.
What County is Goole in?
Goole is in East Yorkshire, right now. Historically, however, it was in the far larger “West Riding of Yorkshire” which is why there is confusion, and a lot of people don’t feel sure. Correct answer: East Yorkshire.
What is Goole famous for?
Goole's prominent landmarks include the twin water towers, known as the "salt and pepper pots," and the central clock tower, commemorating its centenary in 1926.
History of Goole
In the year 1823, a significant development took place that would shape the town of Goole as we recognize it today. The Aire and Calder Navigation Company constructed a canal connecting Leeds to Goole. This milestone marked the beginning of Goole's transformation into the thriving town it has become. The canal played a pivotal role in facilitating trade and transportation, laying the foundation for Goole's growth as a vital hub in East Yorkshire. Through the years, Goole has flourished, building upon its rich history and embracing its canal heritage.
1. River Ouse
The Ouse, a river in Yorkshire, England, spans 87 km/54 mi. It begins at the confluence of the Ure and Swale rivers near Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire. Flowing southeast, it passes through York City and the East Riding of Yorkshire before joining the Trent 13 km/8 mi east of Goole. Together, they form the Humber.
The River Ouse is a popular spot for anglers looking to catch a variety of fish. Depending on the section you fish, you will need approval from the York & District Amalgamation of Anglers. Nearest to Angling Direct Goole is the Naburn Lock stretch of the Ouse.
It is especially famous for its bream fishing, along with roach, specimen chub, barbel and salmon. The river also runs through some stunning countryside, offering a picturesque backdrop to your fishing adventure. This spot also has a nearby caravan site for overnight stops!
