These popular evening events commence on Thursday 10 May. Start is approximately 1830. Club coaches will be on hand to offer tuition and advice and refreshments are provided. Nominal cost of £5 for the evening – open to members and non-members. Very informal and relaxed atmosphere.
Read More...Although challenging, salmon fishing on the Somerley Estate and other stretches of the Hampshire Avon can produce some superb fish. For those willing to put in the hours, springers can be caught in excess of 25lb and are caught regularly each season. Although numbers of fish caught are not that great, the quality and size of fish make the Avon salmon a very worthwhile quarry. A fish of 32lb+ was landed from a stretch where we have the fishing on the opposite bank…..a fish that would be regarded as a ‘fish of a lifetime’ on any salmon river in the world.
The trout angler is also catered for with our fisheries at White Sheet and Hamer. These lakes are regularly stocked with rainbows. Apart from the average stock fish, we always put in one or two surprises. Biggest reported rainbow this year is a 10lb 4oz fish from White Sheet. Brown trout are also stocked in the Ibsley trout stream and the Ellingham and Woodside carriers on the Somerley Estate throughout the season and offer challenging sport to the game angler.
Night fishing is offered on some of our carp lakes and night fishing/extended hours fishing is available on many stretches of river. Regular matches are held throughout the year, which are always enjoyable and well attended and the Club run regular coaching sessions throughout the summer for fly casting on alternate Thursday evenings. Other coaching events are also arranged during the year and details can be found on any courses under the coaching section of the website
