Are any other members here fishing this river at the moment, or perhaps have any interest in doing so?
If that is the case, I would be very interested to hear from you and perhaps you might leave a short note on this thread.
Here are some from the last few weeks of the season. Please do drop a note below.

Re: Essex and Suffolk Stour
Hi Phil,
I have fished the Suffolk Stour in the past.Had some good Chub from a stretch Kelvedon AA used to lease.Good Pike from other areas.I really should fish it more often,a lovely river in unspoilt surroundings.

Re: Essex and Suffolk Stour
Billericay and District have a stretch of the Stour at Henny Street... I'll have to give it a go when it all starts up again
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

Hi Phil,
I fish the LAA stretch at Glemsford a couple of times a season. They have another 2 stretches higher up and 2 short ones around Bures but I’ve failed to find 3 of them them so far! LAA maps and directions are notoriously poor!

Re: Essex and Suffolk Stour
Henny Street seems 'available' to many different clubs! Civil Service AS. Even the Rother Fishery members?

Re: Essex and Suffolk Stour
Do you know, I use that all the time and hadn’t thought to suggest! I’ll have a go!
Cheers,

Re: Essex and Suffolk Stour
There's an LAA stretch just by the lake at Bures: turn right at the gate and walk to the river bank and you'll find LAA signs, for the one above the town go down the ginnel just before 'Beautiful You' (https://www.google.com/maps/@51.9718804 ... 384!8i8192) and there's a path at the end which leads to it c 1/4 mile. Again there are LAA signs. When I go in August the river around Bures is nearly always too low and weedy to fish.
Back 50 years ago there was a pike hotspot at Glemsford, just by where the River Glem joins the Stour, that had monsters in it. I hooked one that must have been the size of Moby Dick which straightened the treble hooks on my live bait rig.
