We now have the use of some of the best and delightful beats here in Dorset. You can fish our tiny waters of the Upper Frome and catch magnificent wild brown trout. Our Middle Frome beats have a fantastic head of free rising wild brown trout and is the land of the River Frome record grayling. On the Lower Frome & Piddle beats you can match your skills against the majestic salmon & large sea trout that inhabit these waters.

As the name suggests this is a little syndicate that fishes a beat on the upper waters of the River Frome. The fishing is intimate and very challenging, suited to small rods, especially Tenkara.

Not truly known as a chalkstream, but it is the home to a handful of rather special totally wild brown trout, in totally wild surroundings.

The fame of the River Frome Grayling needs no great introduction.Other than possibly a quick reminder that this stunning chalkstream has produced more than its fair share of British rod caught records, the last of which was caught on a nymph while sight fishing in crystal clear water.

The Lower Frome has a well known track record of producing huge Sea Trout and Salmon. Historically the river had a massive average size of Salmon with 30lb fish being common and several 40lb fish being caught each season. Although these huge multi sea winter fish have all but vanished there are still big fish in the upper 20’s being landed and lost each year.
