Corporate & Group Days

Fishing Breaks offers a wide selection of days for groups and corporate parties.

 

The River Test is the iconic chalkstream, famed the world over for trout fly fishing. A day beside these gin clear waters in the beautiful Hampshire countryside is the perfect antidote to work.

Your day will be hosted by Fishing Breaks founder and author, Simon Cooper. The service on the day will be exemplary, with the team of friendly and expert Guides on hand to look after your guests be they expert or novice, with tackle and flies provided.

Lunch is served on the riverbank. Choose from a menu that features the produce of the Test Valley – smoked trout, watercress soup or even Hampshire water buffalo mozzarella to name just three of the choices. Aperitifs feature River Test Gin and what better than popping the cork on a bottle of award-winning Black Chalk sparkling wine produced from the vines on the Hampshire chalk downs.

Further information

Season: The season runs April to October, with the prime months being May, June and July. The famed Mayfly hatch takes place from mid May to early June.

Event day: The usual fishing day will run from 9am-6pm, with the option to stay later. We’ll meet at the fishing cabin for breakfast, then head out to the river for the remainder of the day returning for lunch and tea. The Guides will pack and prepare any fish to be taken home.

Catering: Our chef prepares and serves from a delicious menu. The day includes coffee and bacon rolls on arrival, lunch, afternoon tea, plus fine wine and beers.

Facilities: We pride ourselves in hosting your day at a beautiful riverside setting. All our beats have a fishing cabin beside the water, seating on the river bank, WC and car parking close to the river.

Fishing Guides: We know from experience that the key to the day is how your guests are looked after and our Guides are second to none. Not everyone will be an expert angler, but our Guides are fully qualified instructors so will be ready to look after novices or anyone who requires help.

Fishing tackle: All new top-of-the-line Orvis rods, reels, lines, nets and flies which are provided free of charge along with fishing waistcoats, wellington boots, hats and fishing glasses.

Travel & places to stay: We will offer advice on a host of excellent country inns and hotels within easy reach of the fishing, plus train links, taxis and directions.
