Stocked rainbow and brown trout are fished fly-only from bank and boat on the same 2026 permit system as Chew: £36 for a full eight-fish day from the bank (£30 for the two-fish sporting/catch-and-release ticket) and £62 by boat. Permits book through Bristol Water Fisheries' online system or the Lakeside Team at Woodford Lodge; confirm season dates and prices before travelling.
