About River Onny

The River Onny is a modest Shropshire tributary offering mixed coarse and game fishing across its 25.8km length. Anglers can expect reasonable catches of chub and grayling in the middle reaches, with trout and salmon adding interest to upper sections during their seasons. Access is generally available through riparian landowner permission or Environment Agency rod licenses, though some stretches may require prior arrangement with local syndicates or fishing clubs.

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