2025 Fishing

The coming season marks major change in our offering with the loss of four fisheries:
  • Avon, Old Sarum - following another year of low usage (only 3 days out of 26) we have dropped the fishery.
  • Itchen Abbas - regretfully with the advent of 'wild fishing' only ie no stocking at all, fishing only 2 days a week and at a maintained price so we have had to give up this popular venue.
  • Itchen, Fulling Mill - impending sale.
  • Test, Chilbolton - change of ownership and usage.
That said, fear not your Fishing Committee have been busy and have found three new, exciting venues as well as increased days on some favourite fisheries giving a similar number of rod days as last season.
  • Kennet, Benham Park. New The Park is a delightful mix of fishing with the larger main river, criss-crossed by a variety of carriers and side streams which all add up to something in the region of five miles of water. The fishing is mostly from the bank, though on occasion you may be able to wade some of the small stream sections. There is an excellent head of wild fish supplemented with regular stocking.
  • Test, Chilbolton Fishing. New This is a delightful, family owned, Upper Test fishery is a private, secluded 280 metres of the main river situated adjacent to Chilbolton Cow Common. The beat has two islands, a comfortable rustic fishing hut and numerous seats and jetties. Chilbolton Fishing is not run as a commercial enterprise, the ethos is to enjoy your day on the River Test, relaxing in a beautiful natural setting.
  • Test, Fullerton. New Fullerton Fishing is a private, secluded, single rod Upper Test stretch of the main river situated across a field adjacent to the Fullerton Road between the Mayfly and Wherwell. A prime fishery for experienced fly fishers seeking a classic chalk stream experience. You will enjoy the combination of picturesque scenery along the riverbank, diverse water features like deep pools, glides, and weed beds, which can be challenging due to the need for precise casting and healthy trout population with the potential for large fish.
