The lowdown

  • This is the River Arun, Greatham Bridge water — nice and clear on the club’s list of eight fisheries.
  • The club was founded in 1958 and has more than 150 active members, so there’s a proper angling community behind the stretch.
  • The setting is rural and floodplain-like around Greatham Bridge. A very different feel from fishing a lake or built-up commercial.
  • It’s natural river-bank fishing, with Greatham Bridge crossing the Arun at the named fishery.
  • The club specifically names carp, roach, dace, grayling, chub, perch, rudd, pike, eels and bream for this water.
  • For the site-friendly species list, that means carp, roach, chub, perch, rudd, pike and bream. Dace, grayling and eels are also named by the club, though they aren’t available as selectable species here.
  • There’s no separate peg count published for this stretch. The precise length isn’t published either, so don’t expect a neat peg-by-peg map online.
  • The club describes its fisheries as natural waters in the South Downs National Park area. Proper countryside stuff, rather than a tidy pool with numbered swims.
  • No public day-ticket booking is advertised for Greatham Bridge. Access is through club membership, and current access instructions need checking before you head off.
  • Night fishing, parking arrangements and a stretch-specific price aren’t stated. Best move is to contact The Rother Angling Club first, get the current rules, and avoid any last-minute faff.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: No stretch-specific methods are published in the checked information. Get the current club access details and rules before planning a session, then match your approach to the river conditions on the day.

Key rules

  • Fishing is available to club members only.
  • Obtain the current club rules before fishing.
  • Obtain current access instructions directly from The Rother Angling Club before fishing.

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.
