Eel Survey fishing evidence · Wessex

What fish are in the Eel Survey?

Monitoring has recorded 36 species across 13 surveyed sites on this water, between 1999 and 2023. 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.

River evidence passport

Four signals, kept deliberately separate.

The passport shows identity, survey breadth, evidence freshness and trip constraints without turning unlike facts into an opaque “best river” score.
