Situated just north of Felmersham
village, this attractive stretch
of river provides around 20 pegs and
will no doubt prove popular both
with our competitions section as
well as the pleasure angler.
Around 1,000 yards in length, the
fishery is on a long sweeping bend
of the river, lined with plantation
willows with a mature tree-lined
bank opposite and is only 100 yards
from the car park.
There are slow, wider lengths as
well as faster runs and a good
opportunity to fish under the
overhanging trees and bushes on the
far bank.
The car park is opposite the
entrance and with careful parking,
you could get several vehicles in
with more on match days when all
depart at the same time. |
Entry is by a public footpath sign,
following alongside this path down to
the river.
Good roach are evident along with perch
over 3lb, tench over 6lb plus numerous
pike. It screams CHUB in places and the
pegs have form for barbel. Double figure
fish have been reported here in the
past.
The banks are quite high
in nettles during the summer and autumn
so it is suggested that members take
something to clear themselves a swim.
Those appreciating the
wildlife whilst fishing will no doubt be
rewarded with kingfishers as we were on
a recent visit and with otters noted
upstream of the Church section you’re in
with a chance of these enigmatic
mammals, especially if you’re on the
water late or on a night fishing
session.
Let us know how you get
on.
