About Faceby Beck

Faceby Beck is a small upland stream in North Yorkshire with a modest 5.6km length, offering intimate fly-fishing opportunities in moorland surroundings. The beck flows through typical Pennine terrain with clear, fast-flowing water over rocky substrates, providing good habitat for native trout populations. This is classic small stream fishing requiring stealth and precision casting in confined spaces.

Faceby Beck observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. A rod licence alone does not grant access — most stretches require club membership or a day ticket in addition.
