  • River Great Ouse Pavenham
    RIVER GREAT OUSE SDAA controls the fishing rights on four separate stretches of the Great Ouse. Each stretch has very different characteristics, which adds further variety to the waters the club has to offer. Pavenham is located on the iconic ‘Ouse above Bedford’, famous for its barbel and chub fishing. The relatively short stretch of river at Willington is located on the navigable section downstream of Bedford where chub are the dominant species, but with a good mix of other species that provide reliable sport throughout the year. Finally the club controls two sections at either end of St Neots. SDAA has recently acquired the fishing rights on a 350 yard section behind Little Barford power station renowned as an excellent mixed fishery. At the downstream end of St Neots the club has over 2 miles of fishing at Little Paxton including a large weirpool, deep slow moving stretches and shallower faster flowing sections that contain a wide variety of species, many to specimen proportions and including a good head of double figure barbel. PAVENHAM The mile of available river bank at Pavenham has a variety of depths and flow, typical of the Ouse upstream of Bedford. With a walk of at least 400 yards from the parking areas it pays to travel light. This also ensures the venue is never crowded and several swims can be ‘primed’ and fished during the day. Although not present in quite the same numbers as a few years back, barbel well into double figures are caught each season. However, most barbel anglers are rather secretive about their catches and only the ‘tip of the iceberg’ is ever reported.
