About Kings Weir Fishery

Kings Weir Fishery provides two distinct River Lea options. The famous Weir Pool is divided into nine marked swims that can be fished on a day ticket, with barbel, chub, bream, perch, pike, roach and dace among the species described by the fishery. Immediately downstream is a quieter Members Section with no public access and a waiting list for membership. The wider Kings Weir operation also includes adjacent stillwater fishing at Holyfield or Langridge Lake. The venue provides secure parking and an accessible toilet facility.
