It’s about 1½ miles.

Fishing rights west banks only

Directions:
From Cambridge, Take A10 Towards Ely to Stretham round-about, turn right, follow road round sharp corners to first bridge, "Old West river, Gravel Farm," keep going until you cross over un-manned railway crossing, follow road to larger bridge, named Military bridge, or some people call it Dimmocks Cote Bridge, STOP, Park on grass verge both sides, well off the road near bridge, car parking limited, although we have had 150 cars park there for Embassy match.

Fishing:
D.E.F. Section is excellent fishing in the summer season, although a bit slower in the winter season, if you fish this section in the winter season, you are advised to wear waders, or boots, as this section contains marshland just before you cross to the river, unless you walk further down on the top bank, towards willow trees, then down to the river, sometimes its bit dryer. This stretch of water is probably not for the faint hearted, but a long walk may be rewarded for bagging up Bream.
If you are fishing D section near the bridge, be sure you are at least 30 metres away from the pylons, especially if you’re using a pole.

Holidaymakers with large cabin cruisers, and small boats use this stretch of water, which can be an advantage; "stirring up feed" sometimes you catch fish directly after the boat has passed.

Courtesy and patience must be practiced on all Albion waters.
