This is probably the most under-rated of all the Society’s waters. One and a half miles of superb fishing opportunity with big barbel, roach, chub and pike in an unpressured environment. If you have yet to do battle with a big river pike, this stretch is just waiting to expand your experience. Hook one of these Loddon monsters and you may give up stillwater piking for good !
The venue is split into two distinct types of water, a deep slow-moving stretch above the mill, a narrow, fast flowing back-stream. Species include Bream to 5lb, Chub to over 7lb 4oz, Barbel to over 16lb 10oz, Common Carp to over 20lb, Mirror Carp to 27lb 11oz and Roach. In recent years Barbel have populated the Loddon in far greater numbers, and can be found in the upstream and side stream areas. Pike, Eels and other species are also present. The flow in the river has increased following the lowering of the water level by some two feet and this should improve the fishing on this water.
Suitable for most river tactics, although the venue is largely shallow with fast shallow runs into deeper areas.
Fish the deeper areas and glides for consistent sport and check out the over hanging trees and rafts for the Chub.
