About Little Water

The Little Water is a small, intimate river offering peaceful fishing in a quiet rural setting. Anglers can expect modest populations of coarse fish in clear, slow-moving sections interspersed with occasional faster runs. Access is generally available along much of the river, though some stretches require permission from local landowners; check with the Environment Agency or local angling clubs for permit requirements and access points.

Anglers should note the close season on Little Water: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Access on most stretches is via club membership, an estate beat or a local permit — Scotland has no general rod-licence requirement.
