Fish species
Anglers on the Cradley Brook can target brown trout. Brown trout dominate most beats here; grayling, sea trout, and salmon appear on certain rivers and seasons.
Cradley Brook is a small stream that rises in Herefordshire, in the parish of Colwall, and runs north through Mathon and Cradley, past Stifford’s Bridge, to join Leigh Brook near Longley Green. Almost all of it is in Herefordshire. For its last half mile or so the brook forms the boundary between Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and that boundary stretch is why it is listed here under Worcestershire.
Cradley Brook holds wild brown trout. The fishing we know of is club water for members, mostly double bank and booked in advance.
We do not yet have a sourced account of the brook’s character, its fly life, or how it behaves after rain, so we have not guessed at any of that. The Environment Agency has no level gauge on it either, so there is no easy way to check the level from home.
If you are unsure what to expect, treat it as small stream fishing: a short, light rod, careful wading and short casts, and keep low on the bank.
