With the school summer holidays coming to an end, we are brought the harsh reality that the chalkstream trout fly fishing season is approaching its final stages. The evenings are drawing in slowly but surely and the night time temperatures leave the valleys shrouded in mist by morning.
It would be easy to be disheartened but not us, this is one of our favourite times to be on the river. The valleys are beautiful, as the leaves steadily begin to glow into their autumn shades, kingfishers sail through the early morning mist as voles gnaw through the lush bankside vegetation. Once the warmth of the day hits the rivers small olives begin hatching followed by circling sedges, the tour and grayling obliging with a rise here and there.
Do not miss this magical fly fishing time on the English chalkstreams.
