About Great Eau, Withern Mill Trout Farm
Withern Mill Trout Farm has half a mile of the Great Eau running through the farm, which it offers to anglers alongside the lakes: its website suggests trying a cast in the river if the lakes are not enough, and says it holds grayling and wild brown trout. Its cottage page says the lakes and the river are fished on a day ticket, and the farm publishes no separate river ticket.
The farm’s fishing rules apply to the whole fishery. Fishing is fly only with single barbless hooks, all brown trout must be returned, and wading is not allowed. Anglers need an Environment Agency rod licence as well as the daily permit. The farm does not say where the river stretch starts and ends, and the position shown is approximate.

Rules and policies
Fishing rules for Great Eau, Withern Mill Trout Farm
Anglers must hold a current Environment Agency rod licence as well as the daily permit. All brown trout must be returned, and so must all trout over 5lb. Fly only, using single barbless hooks (conventional hooks are allowed if the barbs are removed). Double, treble and multi hooked flies, flicker spoons and propeller flies are not allowed, and neither is any form of two handed line retrieval. Snake flies are not allowed on any ticket. Buoyant patterns such as boobies and floating fry may not be used on a catch and release permit. Up to three rods are allowed per angler but only one may be used at a time; take rods and bags with you when you move, and do not reserve spots. Land fish with a net, and dispatch fish you keep quickly. Fish to be returned should be handled gently, preferably in the water, and any fish showing signs of bleeding or stress must be killed and counts towards the bag limit. Report to the Mill on arrival, buy a day ticket and fill in the returns book on leaving. Fishing stops 30 minutes before dusk, and daily closing times are on the Mill notice board. Wading is not permitted anywhere on the fishery. Read the farm’s risk assessment before you fish.
