The lowdown

  • This is traditional club water run by Vauxhall Angling Club, a Bedfordshire-based members organisation.
  • The Kempston stretch runs from Kempston Mill to Queens Park. The club’s match page identifies Kempston fishing from the weir downstream.
  • The club describes the water as a mixed fishery. Barbel, chub, roach, dace and perch are named as present.
  • Barbel are the tricky ones here. The club says they are hard to find, but do occur in selected swims.
  • Chub are the headline fish, with the club reporting very good chub throughout the length. That’s the proper draw for plenty of anglers.
  • Silver fish can turn up in large quantities, so there’s scope for a busy session when the shoals are on the munch.
  • The checked details do not confirm a peg count or the total length of the stretch, so there’s no faff pretending otherwise.
  • No specific bait, feeder, trotting or other method is set out in the checked club details. Pick your approach around the swim and target species.
  • Membership is open to everyone subject to the club rules. You’ll need a current EA rod-fishing licence and must produce it when asked.
  • There’s no confirmed night-fishing position, day-ticket price or parking instruction published for this stretch. Check the club’s current information before setting off.

Methods: The checked club details do not specify particular methods for Kempston. Chub, silver fish and selected barbel swims are the named targets, with your approach best matched to the swim and conditions.
