Shropshire Anglers' Federation The Coney Green Fishery or Burr's Field, The Coney Green fishery is set in pleasant surroundings and offers approximately 300 yards of right bank fishing. It is situated on the opposite bank towards the lower end of the Quarry section. It's a little secret amongst locals as very few visiting anglers know that it can be fished to any holder of a current SAF season or day ticket. Sometimes referred to as Burr's Field it begins at the Kingsland Toll Bridge and ends at the 'Old Brewery' which is now converted to apartments. It can be accessed on foot via the Quarry section, crossing at Kingsland Bridge, by parking on Kingsland Bridge road (charge applies) or on Kingsland Road, space permitting, crossing Burr's Field to get to the river. If parking at St. Julians Friars expect a walk of 10 to 20 mins, preferably with a trolley! There are a number of pegs to choose from with the first three swims just below the bridge being favourite. The pegs are solid, comfortable and level. They are set away from the path that runs behind by a few yards so you can spread out a little without the fear of having your rods trodden on, but do watch out for the odd 'friendly' dog. The character of the river is very similar to that of the Quarry. Initially a long straight section curving slightly left towards the end with a slow, steady pace, but differing slightly with a greater depth close in just off the boards, Approximately 12' in normal conditions. Usually the stick or waggler is the way to go with no real advantage in fishing the pole. Winter Roach fishing here can be fantastic, just off the rod tip. Big predators are known to lie here at times. The bank here has a line of mature willows along most of its length, however these do not impede your fishing. There is a small outlet halfway along the section which normally sees the odd Pike angler or two with good sport to be had to the mobile lure fisherman. Looking towards Kingsland Bridge and Conney Green A maximum of two rods at all times As with all of our fisheries there is NO NIGHT FISHING PLEASE NOTE THAT FISHING FROM A BOAT IS NOT ALLOWED Taken from our Quarry page......... Passing the famed Shrewsbury School and Pengwern rowing clubs, and flowing under the Kingsland Bridge, the river slowly deepens as it reaches The Brewery on the opposite bank with depths of 20' not uncommon. Excellent Pike fishing here and the tip scoring well too. Lures hardly ever fail to produce a fish or two to the roving angler with some fine specimens coming out each season. Always a bruiser of a Perch hanging around in some of the snaggier spots aswell. Some fine specimens to be had for the dedicated specimen Perch fisher. Kingsland Bridge Road has free on street parking on Sundays and Bank holidays. This shot (below) shows the upper and lower limits of the Quarry fishery and Coney Green. Viewing this shot, the river flows in an anti-clockwise direction. The Quarry is inside 'the loop' with Coney Green being outside the loop. The upper limit of the Coney Green fishery is KINGSLAND (toll) BRIDGE . This can be seen at the bottom of the photo, left of centre, where the road crosses the river at approximately the 7 o'clock position. The lower limit is at the Old Brewery which is difficult to make out in this shot but lying just past the 5 o'clock position where there is a grey 'sideways V'. Limited parking is available below the Welsh Bridge on Victoria Quay for about 100 yards. From here on vehicles are prohibited into the Quarry (Victoria Avenue) and you must return via a one way street (Priory Road and Claremont Bank). Coney Green is a long walk from here (15 mins). Ample parking is available in the many car parks situated near the English Bridge, but again expect a walk to reach Coney Green. There is limited parking (free) on Kingsland Road or on Kingsland Bridge Road where a parking charge applies (free Sundays and Bank holidays).
