A very under fished stretch of water running from the A4 bridge to its meeting with St. Patrick’s Stream. Fishing on this stretch can be quite hard, but the rewards can be good for both the hard working and patient angler. Bream can be found towards the junction with St Pats, as well as good chub and barbel. Moving upstream into the main field, the swims up to the power lines are good for barbel and chub, with the swims along the high bank providing roach, chub and bream as the main quarry. The bends produce chub mostly, backed up with roach and dace, but barbel and perch can all be found here. Fishing is not permitted for a short stretch at Heron’s Reach.

 

There’s a car park on the right-hand side halfway down Loddon Drive, though note that it is closed in the winter to prevent members getting stuck in the mud.
