permission is given. Below the Ilkley length, on the opposite side, 

 there is about mile of free fishing by the roadside. Below Otley 

 to Long Carr Beck, about 7^ miles is in the hands of the Otley 

 Angling Club (no tickets are given excepting to members, who Lave 

 a limited number for the use of their friends). A small portion of 

 this water is in the hands of Messrs. Whiteley Bros., Paper Mills, 

 Pool, who grant day tickets at 6d. per day, but the fishing is very 

 little good. At the " White Hart," Pool, tickets at 6d. per day can 

 also be obtained, under the Otley Club rules, for two fields, about 

 half-a-mile ; Grayling on this portion, however, are very scarce. 

 Below here, again, no day tickets can be obtained, the water being 

 in private hands, with portions belonging to the Otley Club and 

 Holbeck Club, down to Collingham Bridge. Below here the river 

 has little interest for fly fishers.
