About Melton Brook

This brook provides a peaceful fishing experience for those targeting smaller fish species.

Melton Brook 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.
