Fishing methods
Freeman’s Marsh Fishery is about one kilometre of the River Dun upstream of Hungerford Marsh, run by the Town and Manor of Hungerford as one of its three syndicates. The river flows through the Freeman’s Marsh Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the fishing is more wild in character, with smaller fish than at Hungerford Marsh but more of them.
Members fish on a nominated day of the week. There are no day tickets, and the trust keeps a waiting list for new members that it reviews every year. Grayling fishing runs until 31 December, with many fish over 2 lb and some over 3 lb.

This is not the River Dun that joins the Test in Hampshire. This one is a Kennet tributary, and the two have nothing to do with each…
