Fly Fishing

Introduction

Does the UK really need an introduction? Many fly fishers dream about catching trout on the Mayfly here. With some legendary rivers like the River Test and chalkstreams in South England there are lots of options to turn these dreams into reality.

But there's more than trout fishing on the rivers. The UK has a huge variety of waters to explore, with many different fish to be caught on the fly.

The chalkstreams

Even for those with no idea that it’s chalk over which those waters flow, the countryside in which England’s fabled chalk streams sit has become a rural icon whose fame extends well beyond the bounds of fly fishing.
