About Red Brook

Red Brook is a modest lowland stream offering pleasant mixed fishing for smaller coarse species in a rural setting. The clear, shallow stretches alternate with deeper pools that hold Dace and Eels, while Gudgeon provide consistent sport in the slower sections. Most of the brook is accessible to permit holders, though anglers should check local fishing club membership requirements and riparian permissions before visiting.

The statutory close season on Red Brook runs 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). No coarse fishing is permitted during this period. Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Red Brook are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
