There are a little over 200 chalkstreams in the world and from the immaculately kept riverbanks of the Test to the untapped streams of Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset, 85% of them are in the UK.Â
With names like the River Test, Itchen, and Avon immortalized in famous literature by fly fishing frontiersmen; Izaak Walton, F.M Halford, GEM Skues and Harry Plunket-Greene, the chalkstreams are the birthplace of fly fishing itself and the mecca for every devoted fly fisher.
From our studio in Hurstbourne Tarrant in Hampshire, a stone’s throw from the Bourne Rivulet and the headwaters of the River Test, we carry out our mission statement; to protect and preserve these precious chalkstreams and make world class fly fishing available to everyone. Â
We provide the full suite of chalkstream fly fishing experiences including private tuitions and courses, fishing guides, tackle hire, corporate and group days, and picnic hampers, plus exclusive access to private fly fishing beats on the most famous fly fishing rivers in the world.
Allow your mind to wander to the gentle burble of a chalk stream as it tumbles over bright gravels and meanders between lush green swathes of ranunculus, starwort and water parsnip.
A wild brown trout floats in thin air. Serenaded by a chorus of frogs, crickets and birdsong, his camouflage is a veil lifted only by his own shadow as he rises lazily to slurp up a wriggling gnat. Cue the thump of jungle drums.
