The Caudworthy Water is an 11.2km river that offers opportunities for coarse and game fishing, with a mix of grayling, trout, and salmon throughout the year. However, current conditions are challenging, with poor water quality impacting fish populations and overall fishing success. Anglers should expect variable results and may need to fish selectively during periods of better conditions.
Caudworthy Water observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. A rod licence alone does not grant access — most stretches require club membership or a day ticket in addition.
