Chalk stream Fishing
River Frome
The River Frome is 30 miles long and considered to be the major chalkstream of southwest England. It rises from the Wessex Downs at Evershot, is joined by the Sydling Brook just upstream of Wrackleford, then River Cerne just below before heading through Dorchester, West Stafford, Ilsington and Bovington until it joins the sea at Wareham.
There was a time when the Frome was mostly fished
for salmon – as recently as 1988 4,000 salmon a year were being
caught – but in recent times the run has declined to a few hundred.
The decline of the migratory fish has been matched by a rise in the brown
trout fishing, with the Frome and its tributaries gaining a reputation
for a thriving wild trout population.
The season opens with a grannom hatch, followed
by hawthorn, mayfly and blue-winged olives as the season progresses, with
sedges rounding off the year.
ILSINGTON
|
|
For the first time in living memory Ilsington
is available having been a private syndicate for
as long as anyone can recall.
With close to 5 miles to discover this is a true wild trout paradise. Trout over 3lbs are regularly caught and parties will often catch thirty fish or more fish between them. With the main river, carriers and the truly delightful North Stream the sheer scope and variety of the fishing is amazing.
From mid-summer salmon and sea trout are caught and Ilsington currently holds the British record for the largest grayling of 4lb 3oz.

WRACKLEFORD
|
|
For sheer variety the fishing at Wrackleford is hard to better
with eight beats that have bank or wading options, plus a
good blend of wild fish supplemented by a healthy balance
of stocking.
In recent years the Estate has greatly improved the fishing,
with easier access, banks that are groomed without being manicured
and huts for the fishermen. Seven of the beats are on the
main River Frome, but the eighth is on the tributary the Sydling
Brook, ideal for anyone who likes stealth and accurate casting.
Each beat is suitable for one or two rods.
