Hannington (South Cerney AC)

River level

The lowdown

• The club confirms it controls the River Thames fishing at Hannington. Bob on — that means you’re dealing with the club’s rules and permit system, not an open-access stretch.
• Hannington sits among the club’s Upper River Thames venues, alongside Cricklade, Castle Eaton, Inglesham and Kelmscott.
• There’s no published Hannington-specific peg count, length, river-bank description, parking instruction or species list. So there’s no honest way to call out particular swims or features here.
• The membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Adult full membership for 2026/27 is £130, with OAP/disabled membership at £100 and junior membership at £30.
• A weekly ticket is listed at £70. The club says weekly permits and club books are available from the clubhouse, bailiffs and local tackle shops.
• Don’t rock up expecting a standard day ticket. Day tickets are only listed for Gillmans and Stait lakes, not generally for the club’s river venues.
• Fishing hours matter. Without night membership, anglers may not fish before sunrise or after sunset. Separate night membership is listed at £160 for adults, OAP/disabled anglers and juniors.
• The basics are properly clear: use proper access points, stick to the banks, and keep the place tidy. No litter, fires or disposable barbecues, apart from authorised work parties.
• Carry an unhooking mat. Baited rods must not be left unattended, live baiting is banned, and particles and nuts are prohibited apart from hemp, tares and sweetcorn.
• Carp must be returned immediately except in sanctioned club matches, and carp sacks are prohibited. Dogs need to be on a short lead and under control.

Methods: No Hannington-specific swim or feature information is published, so there’s no sound basis for picking a particular method, depth or season here. Whatever approach you use, stick to fair angling and the club’s bait and welfare rules.

Access & tickets

Hannington is club-controlled rather than a day-ticket river stretch. South Cerney Angling Club lists 2026/27 membership at £130 for adult full membership covering two rods, £100 for OAP/disabled full membership, £30 for junior full membership and £70 for seven-day membership. Night membership is listed at £160.

Fish the club names

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.
