Buckingham Town — Radclive stretches

The lowdown

  • This is proper association water, with the Great Ouse fishing centred around Buckingham and covering the Buckingham Town and Radclive areas.
  • The Radclive venue is split into three fishing stretches, so it isn’t just one continuous peg-lined venue. The official plan marks the fishing places in purple.
  • The surrounding scene is rural farmland, with bridges, riverbanks and former railway infrastructure nearby. A cracking bit of Great Ouse country, on paper.
  • Potential parking places are marked with a ‘P’ on the official Radclive plan. There’s no dedicated Radclive parking postcode published, mind.
  • The nearest official postcode supplied is MK18 4NN at Tingewick Post Office. That’s a day-ticket outlet, not a confirmed parking point for the stretch.
  • The association describes its Great Ouse waters as holding specimen fish and manages them for pleasure, match and specimen angling.
  • Fish named across the association’s Great Ouse waters include chub, pike, roach, dace, perch, eel, bream, carp, rudd and tench. Reports particularly mention chub, roach, dace, pike and perch.
  • There’s an interesting conservation angle too, with fish-restoration work documented around Radclive by the Environment Agency and Buckingham Town Council.
  • River Wardens monitor river condition, banks, flora, fauna and invasive plants around Buckingham. That’s useful context for anyone wanting to keep an eye on the water and its surroundings.
  • The key seasonal faff is simple: river day tickets run from 16 June to 14 March. No fishing is allowed during the association’s close season, from 15 March to 15 June.

Methods: The association manages the water for pleasure, match and specimen angling. The checked venue details don’t specify particular methods, swims or flow features, so keep the approach flexible around the marked fishing places.

Fish the club names

Named by Buckingham & District Angling Association across its waters, not for this stretch on its own.

Key rules

  • Day tickets must be purchased in advance.
  • River day tickets are available from 16 June to 14 March only.
  • No fishing is allowed on association river venues from 15 March to 15 June.
  • Entering the water is prohibited except during a formally managed working party with a risk assessment.

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.
