FISHERMAN'S BROOK - ALDERMASTON. |
|
|
MEMBERS ONLY |
|
| This fishery was a fair sized stream running in and out of the ‘River Kennet’ much better in years past when it was acquired by the association. Since then changes in the watercourse and water controls along with abstraction have turned this into little more than a trickle compared to its former glory. It is now only suitable for the individual angler prepared to stalk the banks spending as much time perhaps wandering the banks and observing wildlife and the habits of the fish that can be easily seen. |
The only tackle should be a pair of Polaroid's, a Rod, Landing Net and Pocket full of Bait. |
| Very wild and overgrown most of the fish caught will be of a good average size for the species but the only fish likely to reach specimen size on this water is the dace they are well above the average. Other species include chub, roach, and gudgeon. | |
|
If you happen to be close by it is worth spending perhaps one or two hours. |
