Thames West
The 2009/10 guide to
more than 265 coarse
and game fisheries in
your local area
Don’t
forget
your rod
licence
welcome
This area reaches from the source of the Thames in the Cotswolds to Reading
in the south, and includes a fine mixture of chalk rivers, canals and numerous
stillwater fishing opportunities.
Good catches of brown trout and grayling are to be had from the picturesque
headwater streams. Trotting a float for roach, dace and chub can be
particularly successful, with good catches of ‘silver fish’ often showing in the
slower flowing river stretches. Catches of specimen barbel of over 10lbs are
relatively common with large chub of up to 8lbs. Gravel pits along the river
valley provide a wide variety of coarse fishing for both the specialist and
pleasure angler alike.
This guide will enable both the novice and experienced angler alike to find
new and exciting opportunities to fish close to home. So why not share your
passion for angling with friends and family and introduce them to the sport?
Tight lines for the coming year.

Don’t forget your licence
Every freshwater angler in England and Wales aged 12 years or over
must hold a valid Environment Agency rod licence, or risk prosecution
and a fine of up to £2,500.
We’ve made it even easier to get hold of
your new rod licence. Annual licences
have been specially redesigned
(see opposite) and for the first time,
concession licences can be purchased
online. For the eighth year running the
cost of a junior rod licence has been
frozen at just £5.
We’ve also made the licensing process
simpler and more efficient. This means
that more of your licence fee will be
spent on improving fisheries.
Once you’ve bought your licence, you
are issued with a reference number,
which means you can start fishing
straight away. If you buy an annual
licence you will be sent your new-style
credit-card sized licence in the post.
4 Call us on 08708 506 506
If you buy a 1 day or 8 day licence you
will get a receipt with your reference
number. This should be carried with
you whenever you’re fishing.
• Details of how to buy your new rod
licence are shown on the back cover.
• Rod licences are needed by those
aged 12 years or older fishing for
freshwater fish, eels, trout or salmon
in England, Wales, or the Border Esk
in Scotland but not the Tweed or its
tributaries.
• A licence allows the use of two
rods at the same time when fishing
for coarse fish and eels, subject to
byelaws. If you’re fishing with three or
four rods you will need two licences.
Thames West
Introducing
your new
rod licence
• For Full, Concession and Junior
licence holders.
• Credit-card sized to fit safely in your
wallet.
• The coarse and non-migratory trout
licence (top) features a perch, and the
salmon and migratory trout licence
(left) sports a salmon.
• Water-resistant.
• The new licence card offers greater
security, because it shows less of
your personal information. Our
officers can verify its validity quickly
and easily via the barcode.

Catch the Impossible
“I flicked the bait out and saw a huge head poke from the gloom. A strike
was followed by an explosion before an uncontrollable force surged
towards the reeds. I could do no more than hold on and pray. Somehow it
turned. The battle’s ferocity continued. A giant copper flank hit the surface
with a back wide enough to put a saddle on. I made a desperate lunge with
the net and pulled her ashore … 44lb 4oz … another ‘Impossible’.”
This dramatic quote about the huge
carp that graces this page is from Martin
Bowler the star of Hugh Miles’s new film
series ‘Catching the Impossible’.
It’s being widely acclaimed as the
best fishing programme ever and sees
Martin team up with actor Bernard
Cribbins. It’s sure to inspire you to
get out on the banks and to take your
friends and family fishing.
Each episode boasts ‘Impossible’
specimens but the ethos of the films is
one to which we can all relate – angling

is there to be enjoyed and brings us
closer to nature.
We see Bernard and Martin fishing for
trout and salmon as well as a variety
of coarse fish. But they don’t only visit
exclusive waters – the films show that
most people have good quality and
varied fishing available close to them.
Look through this guide and you’ll
find loads of great accessible waters
near you where you could catch
something different, maybe even
an ‘Impossible’.
Thames West
Here are some key species targeted
by Martin and Bernard, that you can
catch too:
CARP
The No.1 UK species and good fish
including 20 and 30-pounders are
accessible to all. While hair-rigged
boilies score, don’t ignore corn, meat,
bread and pellets and in the summer
crust and dog biscuits.
‘Impossible’ target: 40lb.
BARBEL
There are now double-figure fish in
many rivers. Pellets and boilies are key
baits but feeder fed maggot and meat
still work.
‘Impossible’ target: 15lb.
ROACH
A fish for all seasons that feeds well in
high summer and on the coldest winter
day. Float fish maggot, caster and hemp
on fine tackle. Feed little and often.
‘Impossible’ target: 3lb.
PERCH
Very often an angler’s first ever fish
as they are greedy and not tackle shy.
Perch are thriving in all sizes with 2
and 3lb+ specimens now plentiful.
Use lobworms, small fish and prawns
for specimens with maggot for bags of
smaller fish. ‘Impossible’ target: 4lb.

Before you go fishing don’t forget
• You must have an Environment Agency rod licence before you fish (see page 4)
and also permission from the fishery owner. There is usually a charge for a permit.
• You must also comply with the fisheries byelaws. Ring 08708 506506 or look on
our website for byelaws in your area.
• The coarse fish close season (15 March – 15 June inclusive) applies to all
rivers, streams and drains in England and Wales, but not to most stillwaters and
canals. Exceptions that retain the close season are the Broads and some Sites of
Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). These are listed in the Schedules attached to
the byelaws. Fishery owners can have their own close season and other rules, so
please check with them before setting out.
Other fishing guides are available
This guide is one of a series covering England and Wales. Please ring
08708 506506 if you want a guide for another part of the country.
There will be a charge of £1 for postage and packing.
You can also view and download the guides free on our web site: www.environment-agency.gov.uk/wheretofish. To make it easier, you can
now link directly from our guides to the website of an individual fishery.
Reporting illegal fishing
Spotted something that doesn’t look right? If you see any fishing, netting
or trapping you think may be illegal, please don’t tackle it yourself.
Call us on 0800 807060 and tell us:
• Exactly where the alleged offence is taking place
• What’s happening
• How many people are involved and their descriptions
• The registration numbers of any vehicles involved.
Please leave a contact number so that we can call you back.
