Nether Wallop Mill has been the home of Fishing Breaks for twenty years. Nestling at the head of the Test valley, beside the burbling Wallop Brook and with a gin-clear lake full of eager trout this is the perfect place to try your hand at fly fishing.
Every day is hosted by one of our experienced team who have worked at The Mill, rain and shine, for many seasons. We are all knowledgeable and patient tutors with a great sense of humour. We know that learning to fly fish is more than just perfecting your casting; it is about catching fish, having fun and enjoying everything that makes for the perfect day.
The Mill is set up solely for private tuition and small groups. For the fishing we have a well-stocked trout lake, for the casting the Mill pond and for advanced techniques there is a section of the Wallop Brook with some canny wild brown trout. The facilities are first class; easy car parking, a thatched oak fishing cabin with a veranda that overlooks the lake, a lounge, kitchenette and lavatory. All the tackle is supplied, and we even have every size of Wellington boot if you need to borrow a pair!
Nether Wallop is easy to reach, just over an hour from the M25. The local market town of Stockbridge (4 miles) is a good place to stay or visit, with a host of local shops, places to eat, four pubs to stay at and one hotel. It is also the ‘fly fishing capital’ of England with a famous fishing history, two fishing tackle shops and the River Test flowing alongside the High Street.
