Fly fishing on the widest selection of the best trout rivers in England

Welcome to the Fishing Breaks web site for May, the most exhilarating month in the chalkstream calendar.

With all the excitement of a new season upon us, the Hawthorn hatch in early May and the wonderful Mayfly hatch from mid-May to early June, this is a truly wonderful time to be on the river. Don’t be too concerned about the dire drought warnings; you’ll find the chalkstreams looking a pristine and as lovely as ever. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

If you haven’t ever fished with us I know that the choice of fishing can sometimes be a little daunting. I can truly say that I have fished every inch of every beat, some of which I have had for more than 20 years, so do feel free to pick my brain and let me give you my personal Top 3 Recommendations for 2012. Click on this link to give me a few details.

On the Fishing Breaks web site you will find the rivers listed by county: Hampshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Sussex, Dorset, Devon, Derbyshire and Yorkshire. All the beats are shown on the web site by river, with a brief description of each, photographs, map link, video clip and prices, plus advice on the best local fly patterns month-by-month, places to stay and tackle tips.

But in the end the strength of our business lies in finding you the right fishing. Every fishing day is different and ever fly fisher has a different list of desires. So, if the web site doesn’t give you all the answers you need do call or email me simon@fishingbreaks.co.uk so that I can help you find your perfect fishing day.

I hope that an amazing fishing trip is about to begin
