River Frome at Waddock Farm

Brief description of fishery:

A mile long stretch of prime middle Frome single bank chalk stream fishing situated less than a mile downstream of our Tincleton Fishery. In addition, members may fish the North stream downstream of the fishery entrance gate to the pedestrian gate at the end of lake 11. The stretch offers some of the best brown trout and grayling fishing on the whole river. From April to mid-October, the river is strictly fly fishing only, and only traditional fly fishing tackle and methods can be used. From mid-October to March specimen grayling the main quarry, and coarse fishing methods are allowed. To preserve the fish, we are asking members to only float fish for the grayling and not to use leger or swim feeders.

 

In addition to the general club regulations, the following apply to this venue.
