About Southey Creek

Southey Creek is a short tidal waterway offering mixed saltwater and brackish fishing conditions typical of estuarine systems. The creek provides opportunities for sea trout, bass, and other migratory species, particularly around slack water periods when fish move through the system. Access is generally available along much of the creek, though anglers should check local byelaws and obtain necessary permits from the Environment Agency or local navigation authority before fishing.

Southey Creek observes the standard close season: No close season (tidal waters). Always check local byelaws before your visit. A rod licence alone does not grant access — most stretches require club membership or a day ticket in addition.
