Worm Brook is a small, intimate chalk or limestone stream offering excellent sport for trout and grayling, with good populations of chub in the slower sections. The clear water and moderate gradient create a challenging and rewarding environment for both fly and conventional fishing, particularly during the grayling season. Access is typically via day tickets or season permits from local clubs; check with the Environment Agency or riparian owners before fishing.
