Fishing methods
Windrush at Widford is one of the four Cotswold Flyfishers fisheries on the River Windrush, at Widford in Oxfordshire. The Windrush rises in the limestone hills above Temple Guiting and runs down through Bourton-on-the-Water, Burford and Witney to the Thames. The club has four Windrush fisheries between Witney and Bourton-on-the-Water: three are run as wild trout fisheries and one has some supplementary stocking of brown trout. All have wild trout and prolific early mayfly hatches, there are a few grayling, and there is always a chance of a good-sized chub.
Cotswold Flyfishers water is for members only. The club does not issue day tickets or temporary memberships, and full membership was £660 for the 2026 season plus a non-returnable £187 registration fee. All the club’s wild trout waters are fished catch and release with barbless hooks. If you are thinking of joining, the club’s endorsed guides run taster days on some of its waters.
