Sandy River Ivel – Willow Hay

Approximately 300 metres of the east bank of the River Ivel immediately upstream of Stratford Brook to the brick bridge at the lower end of Biggleswade Common. Vehicles should be parked at the south end of McGregor Lake and access to the river is over the locked gate and along the track past Grace Lake. Do not fish the opposite bank which is now part of Manor Farm Fisheries.

This stretch of the Ivel is known to hold a good head of chub to over 6lbs, bream, pike and perch. There is also the chance of catching carp or barbel.
