I spent many a happy hour on childhood holidays peering over the bridge to watch the anglers in the punt.

Great seeing these old posts crop up. Does anyone know who to contact? I might have a go in October if that’s possible.

Technically a game fishery in that season so you need a one-day game licence to fish there then and all game catches should be notified to Davis Tackle. The Pool has a dedicated page on their website as Tengisgol has found. Recommended bait...at least a gallon of maggots! I've always thought you might be able to fish The Royalty on the in-coming tide ;-)

There is a cheap Motel and McDonalds to the East in Sommerton. Now £100 for a ticket!

There used to be a small bakers called Gigi just before the bridge. Many an hour spent eating a cream slice and watching the fishermen on the punt back in the 70's.

It doesn't appeal to me, I prefer to fish in a more secluded location away from the public's gaze. I don't like being observed whilst I'm fishing I find it a little off putting..... :fishing1:
