River soar fishing rights

[TrevBoy]

Every time I drive along the a60 over the Soar it makes me want to fish it, the narrow river looking really enticing. Here is a link to multimap - the bit I am on about is just south of this location, where the main road crosses the river.

Anyone know who owns the rights?

i dont know how it works these days, angling has become some horrendous marketing opportunity, but back in the 'good old days' (thats the 80's for me!) i would have taken a guess that if it's under a bridge carrying a public road then there's a good chance it's E.A. owned and therefore fishable with a standard rod licence. certainly there are a few rivers i see on the train to work in exactly the same circumstances and i intend to fish them. as long as you have your rod licence with you just give it a go. the worst that can happen is that you could be told off and frankly so what

erm, i would add that if you do get told off best to never fish it again without permission. thats a good way to explore though

It's tipping down with rain as well as a good wind where I am in Suffolk at the moment but it does not look as if it will last long.
