The Gallow Hole Dyke is a modest 7.3km watercourse with poor water quality that presents challenging conditions for anglers. The degraded water status suggests elevated pollution levels and reduced oxygen availability, making this a difficult prospect for fish populations. Persistence may be rewarded during better weather conditions, but expectations should be managed accordingly.
Anglers should note the close season on Gallow Hole Dyke: 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.
