PRIORY RIVER SECTION &
FRIARS MEADOW
Brief description of fishery:
The Priory section section goes to the left to the old railway bridge, down to Quay Cut It also goes right to the Seven Arches rail bridge. This is a cracking section both in the summer and in the winter, with all the usual river species plus some lovely tench.
Friars Meadow
Lots of dog walkers and picnickers, but fishing early and late don’t pose a problem. Park either as for the priory stretch or in the Station carpark (pay & display) and walk over the meadows. Although its a open stretch , it has always held a good number of fish. It is ideal for the roving angler travelling light. This section is just below priory and is on the other side of Quay Cut and runs down to Ladies Island. The River is on the far side of Cut Meadow.
Address
Proceed down Quay Lane which is off of Friars Street, Sudbury. Go past the Quay Theatre to the end of the road and go onto the railway walk and then turn right. You can enter the fishery by going through the gate on the left hand side about 50 yards down the footpath.
