WRIGHTS & GATEHOUSE
Brief description of fishery:
Two quite different stretches of river although they are adjacent to each other. There is a fantastic weir pool (Cornard Lock) and a long section of river (down stream) leading to a double bend has been famous over the years. Due to this section being gated, these sections can no longer be fished on a day ticket as of the 6th July 2020.
The forgotten stretch apart from a few who like to keep it a secret. Access is via the far end of Great Henny (upstream) and via Wrights.
It has a large double bend at the top and bottom. I have had several good chub from this stretch and another angler has had a fantastic bag of bream early season. Not many anglers fish it.
No day tickets for this section.
Address
From Sudbury head out of town towards Halstead. Go over the Ballington Bridge and turn left at the traffic lights signposted for Henny. Follow the road, until it goes into a section with high banks and a tree lined tunnel. As you leave the tunnel, it become open farmland and you will see a track on you left hand side. Follow this down to the river (good firm track) and park near the river.
