Fishing
at Wherwell Priory
what our customers say
"It was absolutely pouring with rain when we arrived and I was rather depressed at the thought that we were looking at conditions that would continue throughout the day. Happily, it soon cleared up and we started. And what fishing! Terry was an absolute brick and gave us all kinds of the right advice and we were both soon amongst the fish. The trout were eager, confident takers of the fly and we both experimented with the contents of our fly boxes in an attempt to find out what they liked best..... it was a very happy day."
"... what a splendid day it turned out to be. There was a good olive hatch and rising, feeding fish which is a rare sight on some stretches of the river, and perhaps a testament to Terry's keepering skills. The beat looked absolutely in superb condition. It was a great classic dry fly day and most of the fish were happy to have a look at a small dry olive and some foolish enough to think it was the real thing, so i had a great day and released most of the catch to fight another day."
"we had an excellent day. I caught my largest ever brownie on a dry fly. it weighed in at 6lb 10oz! Tasted excellent too."
"around 7.00 pm several fish started rising steadily on the lower beat. The interesting thing is that only large fish were rising. I found myself casting to several fish all in excess of 3lbs - superb fishing."
"Wherwell Priory is a terrific location, the river environment is managed impeccably"
"The actuality far exceeded the anticipation - which these days is rare!.... you will be pleased to know that Lucy (aged three and three quarters) caught her first fish - after lunch - weighing 2lbs"
"Beautiful, well-maintained river. Met owner who was very nice too"
"Beautiful surroundings, well-kept river and very helpful river keeper who gave us a short tour of the water prior to fishing. Great fishing hut. Super, well-kept venue with a good variety of river depths, speeds, etc"
