Arley Brook is a productive mixed fishery offering good sport for both coarse and game anglers throughout its 13.9km length. The moderate water quality supports healthy populations of chub, dace, and perch in slower sections, while trout and salmon favour the faster reaches. Access is generally good along much of the brook, though you should check local fishing rights and obtain appropriate permits before fishing, as sections may be privately owned or require Environment Agency consent.
Anglers should note the close season on Arley Brook: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Club membership or day ticket access is required in addition to your EA rod licence on most stretches.
