THE FISHERY

There are a number of favoured swims within a few hundred yards of the village bridge.
Upstream on the village side is a small popular bay and it has been fished  from many angles. A favoured swim is to walk around to the top of the bay and fish a few rod lengths out facing towards the bridge and slightly in off the flow.  Angler Barry Brill often visits and fishes this bay and he also walks that extra hundred yards above the bay with good success.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

This is an open bank venue. The bay is upstream of the bridge, parking in the village is suggested.

TO GET THERE

Proceed to the village bridge.
