Club fishing near Witney

Witney sits on the Windrush, a small clear river that fishes very differently from the Thames a few miles south. Club water needs membership before you arrive, and joining is usually a form and a wait rather than a card at the gate. It is also where most of the good river fishing in this county sits.

We hold six waters here: six lakes. Everything below is within 9 miles.

By permission: six reported as club membership water. Nothing here is reported as free to fish.

None of these is reported to carry the river close season, so they are reported fishable all year. Stillwaters usually are; a river almost never is, so treat a river here that says otherwise as a gap rather than a fact.

Species reported most often: rainbow trout at one. Reported by anglers, not surveyed.

These were last checked between 25 September 2026 and 27 September 2026.

Below 3 waters a page like this does not publish at all, and a page assembled from a combination like this one also needs those waters to carry real evidence rather than placeholder records. If this one looks short, it is because we have not mapped enough here yet — not because there is nothing to find.
