Bentley Brook fishing evidence · East Anglia

What fish are in the Bentley Brook?

Monitoring has recorded 9 species across 7 surveyed sites on this water, between 1997 and 2015. These are survey records with dates. They do not establish what is present today, that the water is fishable, or that you have permission to fish it.
