Directions:
From Cambridge, take the A10 towards Ely to Stretham Round-about, turn Left to Wilburton, follow road through Wilburton, past church on left, up hill passed landscape scenery on left, follow road round to your right passed water tower, follow through to cross road, turn right, follow road down hill and up the next hill for about half mile to T junction, CAUTION, FAST ROAD, turn left, go to rounder-about, Straight over, follow road up hill and down the other side, over the tidal water to next river, STOP, turn right to park.

During the summer season there are a lot of fish to be caught in this stretch of water,

N. Knightly, so far has caught the record Bream, 8lbs in 2004 and a 9lb Tench.

I usually walk for 10 to 15 minutes and that's far enough for me, although a long walk can be rewarding.

Cambridge Albion Angling Society have the fishing rights as far as the willow trees, its to far to see the willow trees from the bridge, its one hell of a walk, but can be rewarding at the end of the day, for some reason this side seems to be very popular with anglers, I’ve had some very good days fishing here, well rewarding, a lot of large Bream have been caught, also Tench, Chub, and so on, you have got to try it.

Night fishing is permitted, but at your own risk.

LOCK YOUR VEHICLE.

Alternatively, you can drive down the road parallel to the counter drain, past the pump house and the bungalow, 200yrds on the left there is a car park. Park at your own risk. Walk over the wooden walkway bridge to the counter wash and fish. This brings you nearer to Manea, where the willow trees are. Do not venture past the trees as this belongs to the RSPB.

Roach, Bream, Rudd, Chub, Tench, Perch, Pike, and Zander
