Walk upstream along the side of the road about 200 yards until you come to the B6271 road-bridge over Skeeby Beck. The water is accessed by a walking path along the side of Skeeby Beck, just before it enters the north bank of the Swale

Follow the path upstream from where Skeeby Beck enters the Swale up to the top limit at the "Bailey Bridge". This is a 5-10 minute walk. You can cross over the bridge to access the south bank, which isn't pegged. See the maps section for more details.

Peg 28 starts immediately below the Bailey Bridge. There is some really good grayling fishing here, with the chance of a real specimen.

The last peg on this section, and runs all the way down to Skeeby Beck entrance. Thinner water here, hence the length of the peg, but also some deeper holes at the top of the peg.

There are overhead power lines at the top of peg 32, so take care with carbon rods and poles and remember that electricity can arc, so you do not have to tough the power lines to be electrocuted.

Skeeby Beck entrance is the end of our north bank fishing. Don't forget the south bank fishing is goes beyond this (see maps) and can be accessed via the Bailey Bridge or wading shallow sections of the river when conditions are appropriate (always use a wading staff).
