The River Limden is a modest 9km watercourse that offers mixed fishing opportunities across its length. Despite its poor water quality status, it supports a reasonable diversity of coarse and game fish species, though anglers should be prepared for challenging conditions. The river's character suggests it may be recovering or subject to localized pollution issues that impact fish populations.
