What fish are in the Piddle?

Monitoring has recorded 20 species across 17 surveyed sites on this water, between 2004 and 2025. 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.

Four signals, kept deliberately separate.
