The River Wenning is a productive mixed fishery offering both coarse and game angling opportunities across its 21.6km length. The river is characterized by good water quality and healthy fish populations, making it an excellent choice for anglers targeting trout, salmon, and coarse species in a classic northern English setting. Access and permit requirements should be confirmed with local riparian owners and the Environment Agency, as this is a relatively small watercourse with limited public access points.
Anglers should note the close season on River Wenning: 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.
