River Thames — Clewer Meadow, Eton
The lowdown
- Get the official map out before picking your swim. The permitted fishing banks are marked in yellow, so those markings—not an inviting bit of bank—are what to follow when choosing where to settle in.
- The mapped fishing includes banks opposite Windsor Racecourse and around Clewer Point. Those are handy landmarks for getting your bearings, but don’t treat them as permission to fish every bit of bank nearby.
- This one is accessed through membership of an affiliated club. The current venue page doesn’t advertise day tickets, so get the membership side sorted rather than turning up expecting to hand over a few quid.
- Night fishing is permitted, which gives members the option of a session after dark. Sort your access beforehand, especially the car park combination: your Association club is the place to get that.
- There’s a members’ car park off Meadow Lane, secured with a combination lock. Park inside it, lock up after use and leave the road clear. Access along that road needs to stay open round the clock.
- Give the bird sanctuary a proper berth: fishing near it is prohibited. Any areas fenced off for safety are out of bounds for fishing too, however tempting a swim beyond the fence might look.
- Keep the setup to a maximum of two rods in use at once, and return every fish. There’s no stretch-specific species list, measured length or peg count on the venue page, so keep expectations open rather than planning around a named target or numbered peg.
- Keep the bankside tidy and intact. No litter, cutting trees or bankside vegetation, bonfires or barbecues. Follow Check, Clean, Dry precautions with your kit as well—a straightforward part of looking after the water.
- We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.
Methods: Keep your approach flexible: the supplied details don’t identify depths, flow, seasonal patterns or recommended methods. Whatever setup you choose, two rods in use at once is the limit.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
