Many species of fish are found in the Lee and Stort. Sea fish such as bass, smelt and flounders enjoy the tidal section of the Lower Lee, while coarse freshwater fish such as roach, perch, bream and pike, flourish further up the river.

Anglers wishing to fish on the rivers Lee and Stort require an Environment Agency rod licence, available from Post Offices, together with a day ticket purchased from the local fishing club. Fishing rights on the rivers are held by angling clubs which issue licences and day tickets on behalf of British Waterways.
