Welcome to the English chalkstreams


Welcome to October! We are on the cusp this month as the trout season draws to a close on 15/October and the grayling season kicks in. For those already contemplating 2026 cottage bookings are open, all courses, events and private tuition at Nether Wallop Mill are available for April-October and we are taking enquiries for corporate and group days. It is never too early to book or at least ask the question.

2026 COTTAGES & HUTS

and Deans Court (Allen Fish Camp)

Our chalkstreams range from the storied rivers Test and Itchen in Hampshire across the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset and Wiltshire in the south and then to Yorkshire in the north, plus the limestone rivers of Derbyshire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.

Every river (we have over twenty) is very special in its own right and you will find a description, photos, location map, video and prices for each, plus my unique Tranquillity and Difficulty rating. Look out for the beats that have my Exclusive to Fishing Breaks tag, which are only available through us.

Here at Nether Wallop Mill, in the heart of Hampshire, I host our Private Tuition & Courses plus Children and Family Days from April to October. Everyone is welcome and with a beautiful thatched cabin overlooking a crystal clear, well stocked lake with five varieties of trout: blue, brown, golden, rainbow and tiger. This has to be the most wonderful place to catch your first ever fish.

There are various ways to book: the on-line system shows up-to-the minute availability. Alternatively do give me a call or drop me an email as I am always happy to discuss the options if you are undecided.

Finally, if you are browsing the site for a birthday, anniversary or special occasion in mind, I’d point you in the direction of our gift vouchers. I have set a standard that few match in terms of breadth of choice, ease of use and a ground-breaking two years in which to use them.

I hope a great fishing trip is about to begin.

Best wishes!
