Chalk stream Fishing
River Lambourn
The
River Lambourn rises in the Berkshire Downs, just above the famous racing
village from which it takes its name. It then flows for some 16 miles
more or less directly southeast until it joins the River Kennet at Newbury.
The Lambourn had never featured widely in angling literature until the BBC cricket commentator Howard Marshall, published "Reflections on a River" in 1967. The book has established the Lambourn in the chalkstream lexicon in much the same way that Haig Brown’s "My Game Book" or Plunkett Greene’s "Where Bright Waters Meet" did for the Frome and Bourne respectively.
Marshall closes the final chapter of his book with the words, ‘Simple things – so many of them – make up the angler’s true delight. And all of them may be found on the banks of the little River Lambourn.’
DONNINGTON GROVE 
|
This is the classic example of a small chalkstream; not too wide, good pace to the flow and exceptional water quality – in fact, the Lambourn has the coldest water of any southern chalkstream that makes it ideal for spawning, with a good head of wild trout. This a wading beat, for which we recommend chest waders. There is a unique flint folly for a Fishing Cabin beside the river and the Capability Brown 5 acre ornamental Grove Lake, which takes its flow from the river. Fishing on the Grove Lake is part of the package; we lightly stock the lake with some rainbows at the start of each season. However, the fishing on the lake is suggested as an interesting diversion, for a short while, rather than a fully stocked stillwater facility. The fishing is part of the Donnington Grove Country Club that has an 18-hole golf course. Golf and fishing packages are available on request from us or visit www.donnington-grove.com for more details; the hotel will refer you back to check the fishing dates. John Stephens, our resident Fishing Guide/Instructor may be booked by the day at an additional cost with tackle and flies provided.
