Stone (Westbridge Park) — Bibby's/SDAC + Stone Private AC (shared stretch)

Westbridge Park is a River Trent stretch at Stone, Staffordshire, with fishing rights held through the Bibby's/Stone & District Angling Club setup and Stone Private Angling Club. It sits beside the park and its canoe slalom course, so this is a club-water job rather than a casual day-ticket wander.

The lowdown

  • The named bit is Westbridge Park in Stone, right by the River Trent. The council’s postcode for the park is ST15 8QW.
  • Bibby’s Angling Club and Stone & District Angling Club have amalgamated, and their rights agreement was made with Stone Town Council.
  • Stone Private Angling Club also shares the stretch. You’ll need a current SPAC membership card and a valid rod licence to fish its waters.
  • The park has riverside walking routes, so expect walkers about. Keep kit tidy and leave the paths clear — bob on manners go a long way.
  • There’s a canoe slalom course on the river at Westbridge Park. That’s a proper feature of the venue and worth bearing in mind when choosing where to settle in.
  • The official club pages don’t confirm a measured length or current peg count for this exact stretch. So there’s no honest peg-by-peg lowdown here.
  • There’s no verified Westbridge Park species list either. Don’t bank on a particular target fish from the club details alone.
  • SPAC promotes pleasure, match and specimen angling, giving the water a broad club-fishing feel rather than one narrow style.
  • SPAC says its waters run catch-and-release conservation practices. Take all litter home or use the provided bins — simple as that.
  • Parking listed by the council includes Stone Riverside Car Park, adjacent to Stafford and Stone Canoe Club, and Stone Canalside Car Park by the Scout Hut. The facts don’t confirm which is the best fishing access point.

Methods: SPAC promotes pleasure, match and specimen angling, so the stretch suits different club approaches. The checked details don’t pin down depth, flow, pegs or named species, so keep the plan flexible and follow the water in front of you.

Fish the club names

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.

Key rules

  • A current SPAC membership card is required to fish SPAC waters.

  • SPAC waters operate catch-and-release conservation practices.
  • Take litter home or use the provided bins.
  • The SPAC night permit applies to specific water only.

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.
