Fishing near Witney

Witney sits on the Windrush, a small clear river that fishes very differently from the Thames a few miles south.

We hold 25 waters here: 25 lakes. Everything below is within 9 miles.

By permission: nineteen reported as club day ticket water and six 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.

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