The River Quarme is a modest 12.2km watercourse that holds populations of trout, salmon, and eels. However, the river currently faces significant challenges with poor water quality and fish stocks, which may limit the quality of the fishing experience. Anglers should exercise caution and check local conditions before visiting.
Anglers should note the close season on River Quarme: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Club membership or day ticket access is required in addition to your EA rod licence on most stretches.
