    The Colebrooke River is a coarse angling venue containing good numbers of roach, perch and hybrids particularly during the spring months. Flooding may affect the performance of this fishery. Brown trout are often caught at the end of the season in the upper reaches of the river. There are plenty of large pike which provide good fishing opportunities.
