About Caw Burn

Caw Burn is a small upland stream in northern England with a length of 8.8km, characterized by fast-flowing water over rocky substrates typical of moorland burns. The river offers an intimate fishing experience through relatively remote terrain, with good native trout populations in its clearer stretches and occasional grayling. The burn's small size and gradient make it ideally suited to short-line or upstream nymph techniques.

Caw Burn observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. No rod licence is needed in Scotland, but permission or a permit from the estate, club or riparian owner is usually required.
