Chalfield Brook is a modest 6.4km river offering accessible fishing for a variety of coarse and game species. The moderate water quality supports decent populations of chub, roach, and dace throughout its length, with pike and eel adding variety for specialist anglers. Trout populations indicate cooler, oxygenated sections that reward fly fishing enthusiasts during appropriate seasons.
