RIVER STOUR - CLARE AND CAVENDISH.

This water is narrow winding part of the Stour medium to fast flow ideal for the angler that wishes to wander trying different swims. Chub, roach And dace are the predominant species and the swims are varied in depth fishes well when rain colours the water well.

About one and half miles of single bank in two sections.

Just upstream from our boundary the Environment Agency are regularly using a site for re-installing Barbel to the river, about four batches of 3000 fish, have now been placed in the river at various points.  These fish are beginning to become established with small fish not uncommon in catches on our part of the river.
ROUTE -
From London take M11 then A120 to Braintree and the A131 through Braintree to Sudbury. Then B1064 towards Bury St Edmunds.  At the far end of Long Melford main street turn left onto A1092 for two miles towards Cavendish. 
On passing Hobbs Lane the entrance to number 1 pit continue along A1092 for 1 mile coming out of Cavendish look for a pile of dirt on the left and the L.A.A. sign post, this is the car park. The river follows the road for approx. one and half miles, and limited parking and access may be possible at other points.
