May be an hour away but Leighton reservoir west of Masham is excellent.
i used to have a season ticket and still occasionally have a day there. Rainbow and brown trout up to 15lb and the odd fish over that weight.
Very well stocked with a high average weight, I could count on one hand the times I haven’t caught my limit In the last 20 years.

Not sure if you are looking for River or Still ?
Take a look at https://www.jubileelakes.com/ Couple of POI very close, it's a small fishery but very friendly stop over Dog Inn about 3/4 of a mile away think it 's closed at the moment but have a huge car park at the back also think they are on the POI's may just be worth a phone call, I would also consider Hury,Blackton and Selset, BalderShead reservoirs, I know Hury is operational unfortunately no overnighting in their parking area and you need to book a ticket online https://bookwhen.com/watersideparksnorth#focus=ev-suj5-20200718000000, but if you have a good look around there area plenty off spot to park up.

Tight Lines
UPDATE *https://www.jubileelakes.com/ is close due to the covid crisis however when it does open it is worth a visit.

Love fly fishing i also make my on flies not very good at it, but they have caught a lot of fish, I have had a year and a half out as it was becoming a bit of an addiction. Was starting to get a little expensive. Gear is now stored in the van in once everything gets moving again may pick it up again.

We catch our fly's with a toolstation twin tube device. Makes me smile when hear them go bang.

Good idea don't know if fishery owner would like it and I don't carry a generator with me or is there a battery one

Don't worry what your flies look like,the late Dick Shrive said "Keep pulling,they don't know it is only feathers".

According to the Hawes Angling Society 2020 page, the answer is yes, day tickets are still available from the campsite at £20 per day or £10 evening (4pm to dusk)
