River Great Ouse – Roxton A, Great Barford
River Great Ouse · Members only

River Great Ouse – Bromham
River Great Ouse · Day ticket or members

River Great Ouse – Fenlake, Bedford
River Great Ouse · Day ticket or members
Fenlake is Bedford Angling Club’s central Bedford stretch of the Great Ouse, walkable from the Embankment. There’s closer parking opposite the Anchor pub, but the floodplain crossing can make access tricky when the river’s high.
Species not listed by the club.

River Great Ouse – Oakley Main, Oakley
River Great Ouse · Day ticket or members
Oakley Main is a scenic bit of the Bedfordshire Great Ouse run by Bedford Angling Club. Parking is beside the double bridges, but awkward gates and undercut banks mean it pays to keep the kit manageable and watch your footing.
Species not listed by the club.

River Great Ouse – Biddenham
River Great Ouse · Members only

River Great Ouse – Radwell
River Great Ouse · Members and members’ guests
Verulam Angling Club’s Radwell stretch gives you approximately a mile of Great Ouse, with a railway bridge splitting two quite different bits of river. Deeper, slower water above; shallower, weedier fishing below — a proper choice of character.

River Great Ouse · Members and member-arranged guests
