Some of the Finest Dry Fly Fishing ..............

"And so one may wander on up the riverbank under bowers of roses, with irises on one side and on the other tall masses of marguerites, hollyhocks, phloxes and delphiniums, and see the trout lying everywhere on the gravel of the babbling shallows, till one passes out into the open water meadows."

Alan Haig Brown - 'My Game Book' - on his memories fishing Wrackleford.

Whilst less famous than some of its bigger chalk stream rivals, the River Frome offers wonderful varied trout fishing as it meanders down its course. Five of our beats are on the main river, with the sixth on a carrier, and the seventh on the Sydling Brook tributory. The Sydling Brook is an extrmely sporting Wild Trout stream, crossing the langford and Sydling Water meadows. The Frome beats are on the main river around the village of Stratton. Each beat is suitable for a single rod, with the exception of 'Stratton' and 'The Mill' which two rods can fish.

"The fishing on the Frome is brilliant. It must be one of the prettiest and clearest waters that I’ve ever come across."
TP after fishing with us for the first time this season.

Each beat is well tended, and wild fish are supplemented with Stocking. We do try and offer a blend of well maintained banks, with conveniently positioned seats, without destroying the natural beauty of these chalk streams. Waders are essential in all beats.

Should you wish to fish on other Dorset Rivers as well as our beats this can also be arranged - please call Oliver Pope.

Booking is either by email (enquiries@wrackleford.co.uk), telephone (01305 267643) or by completing the online booking form. Payment is on confirmation of booking. Once confirmed you will be sent a confirmation letter containing details of the fishing beat, and best parking etc.

"I have been to The Baron's Court, River Meon and The Test in the past but Frome provided the best fishing condition and the quality/quantity of the fish was superb. "
