Embarking on a Mayfly fishing trip at Wherwell Estate is a treat for any angler. From sections of main river to delightful carrier streams, the fishing on the estate has rich variety of water to experience. Each beat has its own charm and quirks, and you could easily spend two or three days here and feel like you were fishing a completely different venue each day.
When the early spring sun hits, the River Test at Wherwell Estate comes alive. The hedges burst with greenery, and new reeds sprout along the banks, signalling a fresh start. Even below the water’s surface, there’s a buzz of activity.
Securing a spot to fish the upper reaches of the river Test isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Wherwell Estate has some openings in early and late May, and it’s not too hard to get there from London by road or train. Anglers can enjoy different types of fishing, from smaller side channels to the main river, which is home to both stocked and wild trout.
We still have some availability for Mayfly in 2024 on the River Test at the Wherwell Estate.
