River Windrush access

[Stuart Neale]

anybody know details of clubs controlling fishing on the windrush other than linear or the pub where it joins the thames ??

 

[Mark Tullett]

Stuart, don't know where you live but to fish the Windrush you really need a Newlands ticket. Vauxhall also have a little bit next to their pit @ Stanton Harcourt as do Witney @ Minster Lovell (upstream of Witney). Newlands have a couple of miles above,in and downstream of Witney.There are sections which belong to more 'exclusive' clubs for Trout fishing, mostly above Witney although Farmoor Fly Fishers have some downstream.

Thanks for that mark, i'm not far away in Bucks and know all about the trout fishing, do you have a contact name / number for Newlands ?? as so far I have only fished by the confluence with the Thames.

Stuart, I have a contact number for Newlands, Try Graham State (Secretary) on 01993 702587
The last I heard most of it was still closed due to FM.

As far as I know the river is still closed for Trouting, can't be long now though......I'll be on it a bit after the 16th.It's a brillant little river but not easy.......and the Trout can be a real pain when Chub fishing!

Thanks Daniel and Mark for your info, lets all hope we can get on the rivers come the 16th.
