The New Coarse Fishing Season

As an angler who understands the importance of the closed season for coarse fish, I still have this feeling of anticipation as the 16th June approaches. I know I can go to Kingsbridge tomorrow, but there is still something special about river fishing and knowing the fish have had a quiet three months. Fishing in a place that has been given a break heightens the sense of joy in being out by the water especially as it is flowing rather than still. In the last throws of the 2024/25 season the Stour yielded some good fish, including big chub. There are more specimen fish to be caught, but even if you do not catch a fish of your dreams. It will still be worth going to wet a line and enjoy the day.

Tight Lines and have a good summer.
