About Brock Burn

Brock Burn is a small, clear upland stream in northern England with a fast, rocky character typical of moorland burns. The river offers good sport for trout anglers, particularly brown trout and sea trout in season, with excellent fly-fishing opportunities in its pocket pools and runs. Access is generally available along much of the burn, though anglers should check with local landowners and obtain necessary permits from the relevant fishing association before visiting.

Anglers should note the close season on Brock Burn: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Access on most stretches is via club membership, an estate beat or a local permit — Scotland has no general rod-licence requirement.
