Chalk stream Fishing
River Itchen
For some the River Itchen is the ultimate chalk stream.
Much shorter than its counterpart the River Test (17 miles vs. 39 miles),
the Itchen is formed by the Alre, Tichborne and Candover Brook, which
come together just below Alresford. It is from here down to Winchester,
no more than five miles through the Itchen valley, where the most sought
after beats lie.
UPPER ITCHEN

In our opinion this is the best piece of chalk stream fishing to be found anywhere in the world. The main river is the classic vision of how a chalk stream should be and the many carriers criss-cross the still operating water meadows. This is one of the few places where otters can be glimpsed, with the banks and woods teeming with wildlife. Other than fingerlings, the river has not been stocked since 1951, so only holds wild brownies. No facilities for the fishermen, just the best chalk stream fishing you are ever likely to find. |
