Sean/Dan, the bit that runs under the M1 looks difficult as the banks go straight down. But just a couple of hundred yards upstream is the Catcliffe stretch that has seen a lot of work done to it by the local club to make the banks safe.
Id be up for a mini fish-in on here. John Ledger is the man for info on this bit, he has fished it a lot and is a good friend of the club secretary ( he has an article on it in this weeks angling star)
Ive not fished catcliffe myself but went for a walk along the strech last winter, it is split into day ticket above the railway bridge and members only below it ( books are about ?10/12 from memory, day tickets ?2-3)
I only walked the day ticket bit and to be honest didn?t like the look of it, the platforms were far too high up the bank for my liking and the place had a bit of a grotty feel to it, loads of crap in the river and on the banks
From what John has told me though the members bit is a lot better, with a wider variety of types of swims
