Knee Brook is a modest lowland stream offering mixed coarse and game fishing opportunities across its 13.5km length. The shallow, clear waters are particularly productive for Chub and Dace, with good populations of Roach and Tench in slower, deeper sections, making it ideal for float and feeder fishing. Access is generally available along much of the brook, though anglers should check with local landowners and obtain necessary permits from the relevant fishing rights holders.
The statutory close season on Knee Brook runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Knee Brook are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
