Semington Brook is a modest lowland river in Wiltshire offering mixed coarse and trout fishing opportunities across its 21.9km length. The moderate water quality supports a healthy population of bream, chub, and roach, with trout present in clearer upper reaches, making it suitable for both float and ledger techniques. Access is generally available through the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust and local fishing clubs; anglers should check current permits and riparian access agreements before fishing.
Anglers should note the close season on Semington Brook: 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.
