River Rother - Blackwall Bridge

We have a water share with the River Rother Association on their Blackwall Bridge, Wittersham stretch. This is much wider  part of the river with pronounced near and far ledges which tend to be the main fish holding areas. Heavily match fished at weekends by member clubs it is better if the pleasure angler can visit midweek. Good parking and easy access make this one of our most popular waters. Good Bream and Tench are the main species together with lots of Skimmers and Roach. Gudgeon are also present in good numbers but undoubtedly the most popular species here is the Pike. In winter some excellent Pike fishing can be had, the best method being ledgered sea deadbaits. On the last day of last season a Pike of 30lbs 2ozs was reported.
