• Where to Fish on Lidstones Brook

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Log jams gather bait and everything that eats it. Flow decides everything here: read the seams before you cast. Lidstones Brook gives up more to patience than to distance. The name is unique in the state, so there is no confusion.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -10°C in February to roughly 15°C in July. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice takes the slower stretches in winter; by early May the whole run is open again. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Lidstones Brook by conditions rather than dates.
