got this info for any one interested Free fishing is on the inner loop only!! (one mile upstream of the road bridge & a quarter mile down..to the landing) I usually park in Bridge Street near the computer shop. There is a walk way just opposite (true lovers walk way...or something like that!!!) It takes you to the waters edge.
You can park in the sommerfields park!!!!!!!!! but only for two hours and then you get fined, so look out. There are some other parks near the landing, but wheel clamping is in operation!!!! Parking also in main street near the Ketton. Disc parking is restricted also............Some parking up near the chapel, further round from Bridge Street.

fish the back of the church but chuck over the other side to the old low water mark use a paternoster roach with the weight at the bottom with the paternoster roach about 2 foot above that so it wobbles in the flow with a float above that . I dont fish but that is the rig I have seen guys using down there and they have had pike to 28lb on that stretch.
