River Leach

The River Leach is a small stream that rises above Northleach and enters the Thames at Lechlade. It is an interesting river, flowing almost entirely over limestone and disappearing underground for part of its course in the summer.

It runs very clear and has a tremendous stock of wild trout and good fly life. We have access to two stretches between Southrop and Lechlade.Again, this is small-stream fishing for spooky wild trout and a stealthy approach and light tackle are essential.
