Fly Fishing

The Fishery

Our 8-acre Fly Fishing Water, set in 14 acres at Mere Beck, is within an ancient flood plain. We undertook a unique land diversification project by moving hundreds of thousands of tons of sand. We transformed our landscape into a large meandering re-circulating river system dedicated to fly fishing. As the system has been purpose built, we have been able to include the best features for fly fishing found in natural rivers. There are deep pools, shallower back water, faster moving water, even a section of surface walkway which allows you to fish free of bank side obstructions. Many aspects of fly fishing has been created, from small stream fly fishing to larger casting pools. Nature will make you disbelieve our story.

Mere Beck has been created as a very important site for wildlife as it has been carefully designed with its pools and streams of clean moving water, shrubs and trees. Already, it supports two pairs of hunting Barn Owls, Kingfisher, nesting Swans, Coots, Geese, Moorhens, Mallards, Herons; together with Foxes, Deer, Water Voles, Weasels, indigenous Freshwater Crayfish and Swan Mussels. With areas of lilies and other plants the water contains an abundance of Sticklebacks, Minnows and numerous Nymphs.

There are good falls of Terrestrials. Wild flowers have been sown and special areas set aside as natural Conservation Areas. As the habitat grows so will it's inhabitants increase and prosper.

We cater for a limited number of anglers on any day, a policy that allows for a high level of privacy and an exceptional standard of sport.

We believe we truly do have a unique Game fishing water.
