Salary Brook is a modest 6km river offering a mixed fishing experience across a variety of species. The moderate water quality supports a reasonable diversity of fish, though current stocks are struggling and anglers may find catches challenging. This small waterway rewards patience and skill, with potential for bream, pike and trout among other coarse species.
