This section is probably our most prolific stretch of river, producing Chub throughout the season. Noted pegs are peg 45 ‘big hole’  peg 47 ‘telegraph’ and peg 50 ‘swimming pool.

Usually carrying a big of pace to run a stick float through, this is how most the Chub are caught (averaging 2lbs). This way you will still catch the Roach and Dace that are in many swims. Maggot, caster and bread punch all catch on their day but don’t be frightened to fish bread flake as this will catch when other basis won’t.

This section runs from the road bridge (Riverside Garage) at West Stour (A30) to Stour Provost. This is the start of the clubs main match fishing waters.

The pegs on this section hold a good head/variety of fish all through the season. They can produce good bas of Chub, Bream, Roach, Perch and Dace. Various approaches work on this section, depending on time of year and river conditions. Float fished maggot tends to work best. But don’t ignore a groundbait approach as this can also work well at times.

This is without doubt our best looking stretch of river, which includes the infamous Lucky Dip and the Steps.

This section starts from the bottom of Highbridge stretch (Peg 18). and some good bags of Chub and big Perch can be had. Continuing downstream Peg 8 ‘Lucky Dip’ can produce some big bags of Roach and Bream  Rectory Straight usually holds lots of small roach and Dace. The Steps is Peg 1.

The mill pool and the  downstream pegs can all hold Chub, big Roach as well as some big Carp.

This section has some noted pegs ,all of which can produce big bags of Chub on their day. The pegs are well spaced out above and below Trill Bridge meaning long walks.

The most noted pegs are all downstream of the bridge ,peg 35 bridge swim, peg 39 blackthorn’s and peg 40 willows. These all tend to be Chub or bust although they can sometimes throw up bags of Dace and Roach mixed in with the Chub.
