Chalkstream fly fishing

The very best chalk stream fly fishing and guiding specialists in the United Kingdom.

Welcome to the chalkstreams! With names like the River Test, Itchen, and Avon immortalized in famous literature by fly fishing frontiersmen like Izaak Walton, F.M Halford and Harry Plunket-Greene, the chalkstreams are the birthplace of fly fishing itself and the mecca destination for every devoted fly fisher.

There are a little over 200 chalkstreams in the world and from the immaculately kept riverbanks of the Test to the untapped streams of Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset, 85% of them are in the UK.
