Country house for sale

Property
The fishing rights are situated on a stretch of the north bank of River Ure between Kilgram Bridge on the western boundary and the small hamlet of Charlcot on the eastern boundary.

The popular market town of Masham is situated approximately 3.5 miles to the south of Charlcot.

The property comprises a predominantly brown trout fishery although the improving nature of the River Ure means that runs of Salmon and Sea trout are now being experienced.

There are 12 established pools with extensive bank clearance work having being undertaken over recent years to improve entry and egress points thereby improving access for wading.

The vendor currently uses the fishing rights on a private basis however there is scope for an investor to let them or operate a syndicate whereby members/rods are charged
on an annual basis.

River Ure
The River Ure was once one of the best salmon rivers in the UK supporting catches of 3,000 salmon per annum, however pollution during the Industrial Revolution decimated the run of migratory fish.

Nowadays The Humber River System is seeing dramatic improvements in water quality and alongside the removal of physical barriers to salmon, returning to their traditional spawning grounds in the upper reaches of Yorkshire’s river have seen a dramatic recovery, particularly in the River Ure. This River is now probably one of the most improving salmon rivers in England with increasing numbers of returning fish year on year, confirmed by increased catch returns.

The Ure Salmon Group has been established to undertake such projects as extensive habitat improvement work to the main river and its main tributaries such as Bishopdale Beck and the River Cover. Other projects include a structured salmon smolt real program utilising the rivers own natural brood stock to mitigate for the loss of spawning and nursery areas lost through the development of local reservoirs.

The sale of these fishing rights offers the potential purchaser a real opportunity to own something special, and to be part of an historic angling story.
