Please bear in mind that fishing rights, if not under any obvious clubs or the like, are still owned by the landowner. You'd still need permission to be on the land and fish. Chances of you getting challenged depends on your luck!

For truly free stretches of river you'd need to find publicly owned land that allows fishing on it at no cost.

Moved to this section.

Have you got a local tackle shop you can ask, or walk the river a few times, see if anyones fishing and ask them, maybe even ask a local fishery
