The Beautiful River Itchen

The Lower Itchen Fishery, is an absolutely stunning quintessential English chalk stream. It's just picture perfect. Clear water, broken by chalk runs and green streamer weed.

The trout are usually around the 2lb mark. They catch around 300 salmon a year from this stretch and there is a huge run of sea trout.

We found that, Grey Wolfs and GRHEs were the flies to use on the day. Although we did catch on Adams, when the trout were feeding off of olives.

It was a wonderful days trout fishing on a picture perfect English chalk stream.
