The River Weaver is a navigable river winding in a curving, anti-clockwise route across west Cheshire in northern England. Known as a productive coarse fishery, the Weaver attracts a wide range of anglers — from match competitors who gather for regular Saturday open matches and Sunday Winter Leagues, to specialist and predator anglers targeting specimen pike and large carp. The river transitions from a more natural character in its upper reaches to a deeper, navigable waterway in its lower stretches, where it forms part of the Weaver Navigation. With a diverse stock of species and multiple access points managed by local angling clubs, the River Weaver offers rewarding fishing for anglers of all skill levels.
