A Day on the River Test
Fishing for a day on the River Test, the world’s most famous chalkstream.
Anglers travel from around the globe to fish the hallowed waters of the Test, the birthplace of modern day fly fishing.
The river flows through the beautiful Test valley in southern England, where the native brown trout thrive in the gin-clear water and are the ultimate quarry for the discerning fly fisherman.
Choose from one of the three price bands during the season. Voucher holders will usually be offered a choice of dates on The Parsonage but may be offered dates on other River Test beats of an equivalent standard depending on availability.
