Access and permits should be confirmed with the local fishery authority before visiting.

The statutory close season on Calder Burn runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Fishing rights on Calder Burn are typically held by the riparian owner or a local angling association — check before visiting, as no rod licence is required in Scotland.
