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.

South Bank Parking at St Giles Farm

North Bank Lower Limit

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

South Bank Parking at St Giles Farm

South Bank Parking at St Giles Farm

South Bank Parking at St Giles Farm

Access St Giles Farm from the A6136 towards Catterick Garrison. Parking is on the grass verge - please park as close as possible to the fence so hat farm vehicles can easily pass (and your vehicle doesn't get damaged!).

Having parked your vehicle on the grass verge at St Giles Farm, walk about 75 yards towards the farm house and you will come to this gate. There is a public footpath to the left of the gate, but you should proceed down the main farm track, which is straight ahead in this photo. A 5-10 minute walk following the track will take you to the south bank of the Swale, about 2/3 of the way up the beat (i.,e, closest to the Bailey Bridge).

South Bank Peg 33

Peg numbers on the South Bank are marked with orange paint on rocks as there are no convenient trees. To avoid double-bank pegging, the first peg on the south side is 33, which is just downstream of where Skeeby Beck enters the Swale on the Northside.

Wading Point

South Bank Lower Limit

South Bank Lower Limit

When the water is low it is possible to wade across the river; the recommended wading point is shown above. This should only be attempted by physically fit anglers who are competent waders equipped appropriately (i.e. studded waders, wading stick etc.) and when the river is low and rain is not forecast, Anglers cross entirely at their own risk and R&DAS bears no responsibility for anglers who chose to do so.
