Upper Thames (Cricklade) and River Ray

[PDB]

I'm moving to Swindon in a couple of weeks and the nearest rivers to me the Upper Thames at Cricklade and a tributary the River Ray.

 

I've found who owns the rights for these stretches, the Swindon Golden Carp AC, but their website doesn't have much information about these waters.

 

Anyone know anything about them by any chance?

PDB,

 

The Upper Thames is full of chub. There are a few bigger ones, but most are up to about 3lb.

 

There are a few barbel, some are big, but they are not easy to catch.

 

There are also dace and roach.

 

South Cerney angling club also has some fishing close to Cricklade.

 

The river Ray gets match fished close to Cricklade in the winter, roach, dace and chub I think.

 

For better information ring Cotswold Angling in Swindon, 01793 721173.

 

Hope this helps.
