Which Hairpin Bend?? There are quite a few and Pretty much all of the river is private waters belonging to several different clubs.
The only club and contact I know is for Seaton Burn Fishing Club. They have a stretch of water further upstream towards Blagdon Estate and it's £40 for the year. Contact is through the secretary of the club. I can pass his name and number on if you want
