The stump swim was given its name due to the fact that for many years an old tree stump was the predominant bank-side feature and for many years coupled up as a handy guest seat of coffee table. The stump no longer exists having eroded away - but the name lives on.

Casting across to the opposite margins is probably the best way to fish this swim but that is obviously providing no one is fishing in the ‘Left Zink’ swim.

This is one of best swims to fish if you like to watch the water as you overlook most of the fishery.
