Free fishing in bedford town

[Danez]

Hi Guys and girls, i live in Bedfordshire (Dunstable) but have never fished in the town of Bedford, i understand it is free fishing on certain parts of the river.

Could anyone advise me as to any chub swims on the free parts.

Thank you.

Takes me back a few years. i use to catch the train up to Bedford on a Sat morning.

The only ones that spting to mind are beneath the weir near the boating lake, and the island opposite the boating lake. I use to get the odd one at Cardington mill but your going back 20 odd years. I know there quite a few up towards queens park but the bits i know are controlled by Vauxhall AC.
