Lure fishing on Tadcaster Weir, a 200ft stretch across the River Wharfe, built in the early 1700s to power local mills.

An angler expertly lure fishing on Tadcaster Weir, a 200ft stretch across the River Wharfe, built in the early 1700s to power local mills. The powerful water rushes past his legs as he balances, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The river hosts a rich fishery with chub, barbel, dace, roach, pike, eels, and flounders.
