Approximately 1.3 miles (2.1km) of fishing on the River Thames including the Old Windsor Weir pool, 855m upstream of the weir and 800m downstream on the east bank and 500m downstream of Albert Bridge on the west bank. The river below the weir is largely free of boat traffic due to the long lock cut that re-enters the main river downstream of Ham Island.

This section provides ample opportunities for anglers wanting to trot a float in open water or ledger. The stretch contains Dace, Roach, Eels, Perch, Bream to 8lb, Barbel to 15lb +, Chub to 5lb, Pike to 15lb and a few Carp to 30lb.

During the warmer months the section immediately below the weir is most popular because of the limited boat traffic, where silver fish bags of up to 20lb have previously been recorded in matches.

Tackle and Tactics

Suitable for most river tactics, fish the deeper areas and glides for consistent sport and check out the over hanging trees and rafts for the Chub.
