Whether it’s floatfishing for silver fish, stalking big chub or lure fishing for a specimen perch, there’s likely to be somewhere close to your doorstep that fits the bill.
Some rivers specialise in one or two particular types of fishing, but there are others where you will be spoilt for choice and can try your hand at almost anything.

All this prolific action can be experienced in comfort, with a wide choice of swims on offer including a section of decking set off the main footpath.
Nor will you need to dip deep into your pocket to see what all the fuss is about, because fishing There are plenty of decent perch here. throughout the quaint village is free of charge.
