Fishing near Abingdon-on-Thames

Waters within a short drive of Abingdon-on-Thames. Each says what it is reported to need and when anybody last checked.

We hold 55 waters here: 28 river stretches and 27 lakes. Everything below is within 9 miles.

By permission: 28 reported as club membership water, 23 as club day ticket water and three as free fishing. The three free waters are the hardest of these to establish and the most worth knowing.

One of these is reported as unknown or disputed — we do not yet know who controls it, and saying so is more useful than guessing.

28 of the 55 carry the river close season, 15 March to 15 June. The other 27 are reported fishable all year.

Species reported most often: rainbow trout at two, chub at one, perch at one and roach at one. Reported by anglers, not surveyed.

These were last checked between 4 September 2026 and 8 October 2026.

Every line below is a report with a date on it, not permission to fish. Read the disclaimer.
