East Peckham
River Medway near East Peckham.

Venue description: Approximately half a mile of single bank together with a short stretch of the tributary River Bourne. In the main the river is slow and deep although the Bourne is only shallow.

Parking: Parking is in a locked field.

Species: Roach, bream, perch, chub, pike and the occasional carp

Comment: An ideal water for those who like a nice days fishing in pleasant surrounding. The bulk of bags are made up of roach to around a pound in weight but sometimes a bream shoal will turn up and give the angler a dozen or so fish up to four pounds. There are plenty of pike for the predator angler along with a few very big perch. Night fishing is permitted.
