Editing River Cam (section)

===Angling===
The water is not murky and is clean enough from its source to its confluence with the Great Ouse to support fish. The fishing rights on the west bank are leased annually to the Cambridge Fish Preservation and Angling Society.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.camconservators.co.uk/fishing.html|title=Conservators of the River Cam|website=Conservators of the River Cam|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080614162627/http://www.camconservators.co.uk/fishing.html|archive-date=14 June 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The Cam below Bottisham Sluice may still hold [[burbot]], a fish thought to be extinct in English waters since the early 1970s.<ref>[http://www.ukbap.org.uk/UKPlans.aspx?ID=423 UK Biodiversity Action Plan, ''Burbot''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071028110819/http://www.ukbap.org.uk/UKPlans.aspx?ID=423 |date=28 October 2007 }}, accessed 10 January 2009</ref> The last known burbot caught in Britain was in 1969, on the Cam, and in 2010 a fisherman reported spotting two in the Great Ouse.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gofishing.co.uk/Angling-Times/Section/News--Catches/General-News/July-2010/Extinct-burbot-spotted-in-River-Eden-and-Great-Ouse/|title='Extinct' burbot spotted in River Eden and Great Ouse|website=gofishing.co.uk|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308115722/http://www.gofishing.co.uk/Angling-Times/Section/News--Catches/General-News/July-2010/Extinct-burbot-spotted-in-River-Eden-and-Great-Ouse/|archive-date=8 March 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Above Hinxton and Great Chesterford the river holds a stock of wild brown trout, though it is also stocked by the Audley Fly Fishers club and other angling societies who own the rights.
