About Howe Burn

The Howe Burn is a small tributary stream in northern England offering intimate fishing in a rural setting.

This is classic upland stream fishing with good habitat diversity for a watercourse of its modest 12.2km length.

Howe 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.
