What Can I Expect
World class fly fishing in Hampshire! Our two-hour tasters, half- and full-day private fishing lessons take you straight to the heart of rural Hampshire, to go fishing with an expert in the stunning Test Valley on the private Wherwell Estate.
Jamie is your host. He is super passionate about opening up top-class fishing to everyone. What makes these lessons so accessible is the fact that all are welcome, including absolute beginners, as all sessions include personal coaching.
Our vouchers are for one or two of you to fish together. Jamie will take you to one of his personal favourite spots on the idyllic Wherwell Estate, with tranquil stretches of chalk stream water and private lakes, surrounded by fields of barley and ancient woodland.
The perfect habitat for rainbow and brown trout to thrive, these are well-stocked waters, so if there was ever a place to catch your first trout on the mayfly, these fishing experiences are it!
All the gear you need is included, from the rod and bait, right down to the wellies for wading in. Jamie is an excellent coach, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the local flowing and still waters around the River Test, as well as being mindful about conservation and wildlife.
It’s this enthusiasm and experience that makes these one-to-one fly fishing lessons in Hampshire a great choice for anglers of all levels. Now go and catch that trout for supper!
