river. Roach
and dace provide good sport for the angler who does not want to hunt
for specimen fish. Although a roach of 2lb 8oz was caught from the
Mill Pool. The river also contains some carp, which have
been caught at 19lb but bigger fish have been seen. Pike are present
along the full length with some double figure specimens. The deeper
sections can also provide good sport with the hard fighting river
bream. Be prepared to be mobile and you will find this river has a
lot to offer.
