where to go fishing • Oxford £1 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. Chris Poupard Chairman, Thames Region Fisheries Ecology and Recreation Advisory Committee Thames West www.environment-agency.gov.uk/rodlicence 3 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.

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 6 Call us on 08708 506 506 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. The Catching the Impossible book and DVDs are available from www.calmproductions.com or by calling 0845 408 2606.

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?
