River Ouse
The River Ouse runs from Lower Beeding in West Sussex down through Barcombe Mills from here the river is tidal to the
sea at New Haven. This lower section of the river has strong currents and has been susceptable to flooding, the upper
section is fairly slow flowing. The River Uck is one of the main tributries flowing into the River Ouse.
The river is rich with life which can include mussels and fresh water shrimps.
Fish species you may come across includes Trout, Carp, Barbel, Perch, Pike, Grayling, Bullheads, Stone Loach, Tench
along with the more common fish species found in UK rivers. The tidal section of the River Ouse also holds Bass,
Grey Mullet, Twaite, Sea Trout and Flounder.
The River Ouse attracts some stunning wildlife from birds like the Kingfisher, Warblers to Water Voles.
