River Colne – Denham

General description

With two sections to choose from, the gravels and upstream of the golf club, anglers can find total seclusion or fish in a more social location. The upstream section is currently overgrown and unmanaged, this was due to the HS2 ‘environmentalists’ camp but with their eventual removal and HS2 themselves finally vacating the area we will be looking to reinstate fishable areas over the coming seasons.. This area is a veritable paradise with nothing to spoil the serenity apart from the occasional screech from a White Egret or the drumming of a woodpecker.

The central gravels allow for all types of coarse angling, whether that be rolling a lump of luncheon meat into the barbel’s lair, or running a delicately presented stick float through the stream. The fishing here has resulted in “personal bests” for many anglers. We will also be working on opening up further swims downstream of the footbridge all the way to the confluence with the Misbourne. Flooding has stopped us doing this in the close season.

Opening Dates: 16th June – 14th March
