FISHING

Due to it's fairly straight and uniform course, the River Huntspill is nationally recognised as a popular site for Coarse Fishing.

As a result, it is highly popular with Anglers and has been the venue for numerous match-fishing competitions over many decades.

The Huntspill River is approximately situated between Bridgwater and Burnham-On-Sea; ranging from the Seaward Outfall Sluice to the Gold Corner Pumping Station.

The Huntspill River is an artificial waterway, constructed during the early 1940's to supply water for the Royal Ordinance Factory (ROF) at Puriton, Somerset. Its constructed nature is evident from it's markedly straight course through the Sedgemoor countryside.

In 1954 it was incorporated as part of the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve, by English Heritage.
