River Cray, Kent

[GlennB]

I'll be spending a few days around St Pauls Cray in Kent and will have a little spare time to fish the R Cray.

Anybody know of any free stretches down that way? I'll have the car and can travel if need be.

 

cheers for any info

Hi Glenn, A few years since I fished the Cray but many happy memories including a 1lb 1oz Dace from the river at the back of Bourne road playing fields a stretch around 3/4 of a mile, Try the bends towards the downstream end from the far bank ( cross the bridge in the middle of the fields )

If you cross the bridge by the cafe and look under I bet there is a small shoal of chub mixed in with the Dace!

Also there is a free stretch alongside crayford way down to thames road.

let us know how you get on I might try again myself! Tight lines. Kevin
