Fishing Pools on the River Fleet

Fishing Pools on the Fleet

Rivers often have local names for the various pools and favoured banks on the river - particularly for fishermen. The Fleet is no exception and this map, which can be downloaded as a pdf, has the names of many locations along the river. The map is from the Gatehouse Folk website which has a wealth of historical information, old photos and postcards. It is the work of local residents Graham and Margaret Wright.
