Fly fishing

Fly fishing takes you to the most beautiful parts of Britain. The mighty Salmon rivers in the Highlands of Scotland and the Chalkstreams of the quaint Hampshire countryside are world famous but many other areas of the UK offer equally exciting and scenic challenges for the Fly fisher. The quick flowing rivers of the picturesque Yorkshire Dales abound with wild Brown Trout and Grayling; the Lake District of Cumbria has a great variety of waters in stunning mountain scenery; and the wild rivers of Wales provide superb Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout fishing. 

The Country House Hotels and Inns of the UK know how to look after the needs of Fly fishers. Many have their own stretches of river and most are situated close to major places of interest. 

Ancient Stonehenge is just 30 minutes drive from the Hampshire Chalkstreams; London is only an hour away by Train; and Izaac Walton, author of ‘The Compleat Angler’ (1653), is buried in Winchester Cathedral on the banks of the River Itchen. From a base in the Yorkshire Dales the magnificent city of York is just an hour away by car and Brontë country closer even than that. 

With help it’s easy to build a holiday in Britain that provides a superb vacation not only for the fisher but also for partners, family or friends. 

Give Fly fishing in the UK a go… you will not be disappointed.
