About the River Pinsley Brook

Pinsley Brook is a small tributary of the River Lugg in north Herefordshire. It runs through the countryside west of Leominster and into the town, where it once powered Pinsley Mill. Flood defence work in the 1960s reshaped the rivers through Leominster, and since 1968 the brook has been diverted into the Kenwater to the west of the town, which in turn joins the Lugg.

FAQ

Pinsley Brook FAQs

Common questions about fishing the Pinsley Brook, from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

01Can I fish the Pinsley Brook?

Much of the water is privately managed, but plenty of it is open to visiting anglers through day tickets, syndicate places, and club memberships. FishingBeats lists 1 beat on the Pinsley Brook, and each beat page shows who runs the water and how to book.

02How much does it cost to fish the Pinsley Brook?

Prices vary by beat, season, and how many rods share the water. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.

03When is the fishing season on the Pinsley Brook?

The statutory trout season varies by region: on the Hampshire chalk streams such as the Test and Itchen it runs 3 April to 31 October, while rivers in the Thames catchment, including the Kennet, close on 30 September. Many fisheries set shorter dates of their own within that window, and grayling fishing carries on through the winter on many beats. Check the permit dates on each beat page before you book.

04What fish can I catch in the Pinsley Brook?

Beats on the Pinsley Brook list brown trout. The mix varies from beat to beat, so check the species on the page for the water you want to fish.

05Do I need a licence to fish the Pinsley Brook?

Yes. Anyone aged 13 or over fishing for trout, salmon, or coarse fish in England needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence, bought online in daily, weekly, or annual form. It's separate from the beat ticket or syndicate fee, so factor it in before you go.
