Treat your loved one to a superb day out by the water fly fishing ...
with an unrivalled number of fly fishing locations to choose from.
Go fly fishing in the Yorkshire Dales, on the Chalkstreams, near London, in the Cotswolds ...
The southern part of the Peak District National Park is known as the Derbyshire Dales. This is a limestone area and as such its main rivers – the Wye and Dove – are rich waters delivering superb fly fishing. The Derbyshire Wye contains a particularly large head of fish. As well as Brown Trout and Grayling it is unique in the UK in having a natural-breeding population of wild Rainbow Trout. Excellent stillwater fly fisheries such as Carsington Water and Tittesworth Reservoir are close by.
The Peak District offers excellent walking in stunning countryside scenery and there are interesting towns to visit such as Bakewell, Matlock, Ashbourne and Buxton. As well as the magnificent Chatsworth House and gardens the area also boasts Haddon Hall and rose garden, set right on the banks of the River Wye.
Accommodation in Derbyshire, ideal for fly fishers, varies from top-class country house hotels to friendly B & B’s and self-catering cottages run by fishers for fishers.
The area has strong connections to fishing history. Izaak Walton, author of "The Compleat Angler" (1653) lived at Shallowford, near Stone and you can visit his house there which is now a museum. The thatched, half-timbered cottage gives a fascinating insight into the history of angling and the life of a writer whose work remains ‘a unique celebration of the English countryside.’ Wander through the historic rose and herb garden or enjoy the heritage events which are held there regularly. Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton are also thought to have fished the River Dove and the river is mentioned in the "The Compleat Angler".
