Access is generally available via local landowner permission, though anglers should seek prior consent before fishing and check with local angling associations for permit requirements.

The statutory close season on Caddon Water runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Caddon Water are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
