Wild Streams

For those fly fishers who enjoy stalking wild fish in remote waters, these fisheries are just what you are looking for! Set in stunning scenery, they can be anything from six feet wide mountain streams to more leisurely paced, medium-sized rivers. Whichever you decide upon, an 8 foot 3/4 weight is the largest rod that you will need and most of the streams require smaller rods to get underneath the bankside foliage. All these beats offer feisty wild brown trout that are fantastic fun to catch on lightweight outfits. The average size is probably around 6 to 8 inches. Bigger fish, however, are present - these beats have produced both wild brown trout and grayling to over 3lbs since the start of the Passport scheme in 2003. rewards are there to be found!

These beats used to be part of our "Roving Voucher" scheme, which came to an end on 31st December 2012.

The Wild Stream Fisheries can be accessed two ways:

Pre-bookings

For those who like to secure their fishing, the Wild Stream fisheries are available to pre-book online or over the telephone. There is no booking fee charged for bookings made online. Once you have booked, you will be emailed your day ticket, along with maps, directions etc. Wild Streams beats cannot be booked on the day. Bookings for any particular day cease at 6pm the day before. (Those beats that haven't been pre-booked are then available only to those in possession of a Wild Stream Season Permit).

Wild Stream Season Permits

Beats that haven't been pre-booked are available only to those in possession of a Wild Stream Season Permit, who are free to roam and fish any of them. A 2 rod permit entitles you to take a friend or family member along with you. A list of beats available for each day is shown via the link above right. This list is viewable only by Wild Stream Season Permit holders by entering their username and password. Beat maps can be downloaded from the list of beats shown as available.
