Black Bridge

The Piggeries to Black Bridge is a stretch of the Bristol Avon running from the Piggeries to Black Bridge, controlled by Chippenham Angling Club. Day tickets are available, so you do not need to be a member to fish here. Species include chub, roach, perch, dace and bream. Night fishing is permitted.

Night Fishing

Club rules do not ban adults from the river after dark: rule 8 says juniors may not fish club waters from one hour after sunset until one hour before dawn unless accompanied by an adult member over 21 (night bans are stated only for Pockeridge and Burbrook lakes). No separate night permit is mentioned — confirm with the club.
