Fishing on the River Wylye

The Wylye is one of England's finest chalk streams. This two-thirds of a kilometre stretch is part of Wiltshire Wildlife Trust's Langford Lakes Nature reserve and provides fishing for wild brown trout in spring and summer, and grayling in summer, autumn and winter. A great place to relax in the tranquil surroundings! 

We aim to manage the river as a sustainable wild fishery. The fishing is 'catch and release' only, and no stocking takes place. Instead, conditions for wild fish are encouraged. 

The fishing is often challenging where there are low branches, which are part of the habitat for fish and fly life. Access is best afforded by wading but beware of a few deep hollows. 

There is a syndicate on the river but day tickets are available. The river fishing is organised by Fly Fishing specialists Aardvark Mcleod and they can be contacted at www.aardvarkmcleod.com
