Sheffield, South Yorkshire

Rivelin Valley free fishing site

Free fishing at Rivelin Valley (Rivelin Valley Road, Rivelin, Sheffield S6), listed by Sheffield City Council as one of its free fishing sites. The valley's mill dams are maintained for recreational fishing — the Wolf Wheel mill dam is the largest kept for fishing, and was stocked with bream, tench and crucian carp after being dredged in 1967. Fish only at the council's authorised fishing site; public footpaths through the valley do not imply unrestricted river fishing on the River Rivelin. A current Environment Agency rod licence is required.

Rules
