A uniquely extensive and varied portfolio of chalk stream fly fishing
There’s wild fishing for brown trout and grayling, plus some stocked beats. There’s wading and bank fishing. There are rainbows and browns in our lakes, where we also cater for less mobile members
Upstream fishing, with dry flies and nymphs on barbless hooks. All our wild fishing is “catch and release” but members take some good-sized browns from the stocked beats every season
You can easily find solitude or company depending on your mood. There are parking spaces, huts, benches and wading access posts. Sometimes there are neatly-mown banks but often there’s undergrowth. Choose your fishing experience
There are as many perfect days’ fishing as there are fishers
While many clubs and syndicates restrict fishers to rotating beats on a relatively short stretch of river, or a lake or two, the Society offers members real choices. Some spend all their time after wild trout on secluded stretches, while others love the technical challenges posed by crystal-clear waters.
Those looking to take a fish home head for the beats that hold the stocked trout – or visit our lakes. The variety of our fisheries means that a member could theoretically take all these approaches in a day…
Over many years we have learned how to produce great chalk stream fisheries for our members. With a full-time professional team of four, we have the knowledge and the manpower to develop new ideas and put them into practice.
