- Couples mixing fishing with a Stratford break
- Predator anglers after pike and zander
- Walking into town
Think twice if
- You want a private peg: the banks are shared with the park

Pike and zander are on the species list, and the river season runs until 15 March, so the colder months suit predator fishing.
