The 2021 chalkstream fly fishing season may be several months away, but our thoughts are already turning to those warm sunny days and rising trout. With access to a number of first class private country estate locations set in the beautiful Hampshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Dorset countryside. We can cater for individual rod days and group days to larger corporate days suitable for all chalkstream fly fishing abilities.
For many anglers, next season will feel a long way off but for those seeking to fish during the famous mayfly hatches now is the time to contact us. The mayfly hatch is a truly special time to be out on the southern chalkstreams. For the avid anglers there is nothing quite like watching these large flies floating majestically down the stream to suddenly disappear as the neb of a large trout breaks the surface. Heart stopping moments.
It is possible to secure your preferred mayfly dates whether a single angler or group now. New available dates are being announced regularly at the moment so if you cannot see the date or river you would like to fish please do contact us for more details.
