Now that temperatures are dropping and Oxygen levels improving we can fully reopen our fisheries with exception to Oxon Pool that will remain closed for the time being.
As the rivers and pools are badly in need of some water, we need some rainfall desperately to get them back to normal. We will keep monitoring them and will update you with any actions that we may have to take.
Please keep adopting high fish care and return them to the water ASAP.
Pike and Salmon are still vulnerable and ask you not to fish for them until we have had a sufficient increase in river level(0.8m or above on the Welsh Bridge meter. Google river levels Welsh Bridge)
Thank you for your understanding.
Enjoy your fishing.

Fisheries Coordinator
