Fishing:
The fishing is between the weir at the upstream limit and the road bridge at the downstream limit, a length of about 1.3 km. Fishing is from the right bank (looking downstream) on the upstream section of the fishery, and the left bank on the downstream section a small brick footbridge marks the change in banks. This lowland river contains some good trout in addition to chub, dace, perch and pike. Grayling were re-introduced a few years ago, and we are interested to see if these show in catches.

Peak Passport seasons may be shorter than the national seasons, allowing the angler to fish when the rivers are showing their full potential while allowing time for maintenance and improvement work.
