Fly Fishing for trout in the heart of Hampshire...Most non-anglers don't understand the lure of fly fishing for trout. That's because, as every angler knows, there is so much more to fly fishing than just catching a fish and it's not always obvious.
Firstly, fly fishing will take you to beautiful places and nestled beneath the South Downs in its own unique valley, far from main roads and the hum drum of life, Meon Springs is one of those places. "Absolutely amazing place, would recommend to anyone that's into fly fishing. Such a relaxing atmosphere, the staff are very helpful. I took a while to catch my quota of fish, but I am a relative novice. The fish are in really good condition and scrap like demons. Cannot wait till my next visit." 
The FishingHere at Meon Springs, you have a beautiful fly fishery with four spring-fed lakes that has been attracting anglers for some 30 years. One of the unique attractions is that the fishery provides a place to visit for all people - regardless of age and experience.
Please note, for both Day Fishing and Evening Fishing, numbers are limited. Along with the booking, you can choose the relevent number of fish you wish to purchase. Once you've caught your first fish and are becoming hooked on the sport, you may well go through various stages. One of which being able to catch lots of trout, another stalking and landing some big fish and then honing your skills to be able to tangle with the more challenging trout.
With various options of Fishing Tuition, we are here to support you every step of the way. Please see our Fishing School page for details. 
"Cracking fishery, 3 lakes including a catch and release section, wonderful location buried in the bottom of the south downs...staff are friendly and approachable, always willing to help...fishing experience days available. Fishing shack with bacon butties..free coffee and tea and much more...you will need a current fishing license!!!... Highly recommend a visit you will not be disappointed" - Andrew B - Google Review

The fly Fishery at a glance
Why go TROUT fly fishing?Nobody wants to spend all their life stressed at worked, bored at home or frustrated with every day life. And hard though it is, getting out there and doing something different is so important to everyone. Fly fishing provides the ultimate balance between relaxation and stimulation. Spending time in beautiful surroundings, taking time to perfect a graceful cast and chilling out over a coffee or beer is the ultimate way to relax. Combine this with the all engrossing stuff such as luring a trout to the fly, understanding the mind of a trout and picking the best fly, the best place, the optimum depth, the right cast and the speed of retrieve and you have mindfulness on octane. |
The fly fishery comprises of two lakes for catch and take plus an extensive catch and release section (Meon Beat), which is stocked with a selection of smaller trout, many of them brownies. These fish are much more wily and challenging to catch. They are, however, regularly re-stocked making Meon Beat one of the best stillwater catch and release beats in the country.
We never guarantee that the fishing will be easy (this can be related to the conditions on the day or your level of skill). However we do have a fair policy of giving you fish credits for uncaught fish, which can be redeemed on subsequent visits. For more details, visit our Fishing Prices page.
