Fishing near Leeds, England

Leeds sits in West Yorkshire at the heart of a dense network of rivers draining the Pennines and the Vale of York. The River Aire runs through the city itself, while the Wharfe, Nidd, Ure, Swale, Calder and Derwent are all within easy reach. Canals — including the Leeds and Liverpool — add further coarse fishing close to the urban centre, and a string of stillwater fisheries around the city cater to anglers of every level.
