Black Beck, Race Grove, The Green

SPECIES AND GUIDANCE… Sea Trout and occasional Salmon

The Black beck here is referred to as Matty Hole and Green Beck. The fishing consists of only a single pool below a waterfall situated at the top of the beat. This water is best described as a fell beck with a single 6 feet rocky ledged pool. During summer months and autumn floods a few fish enter the system and have to negotiate the waterfall. Whilst they rest in the pool they may be tempted by a trotted bait. The bank is lined with large trees.
