Beautiful surroundings in the middle of the woods. We arrived to a warm welcome from the amazing Shirley who offered us a hot drink and we felt at home right away. She also said she would be doing bacon baguettes and there was a selection of homemade cakes on offer too. We met the very friendly Jeff and Matt and bought some flies which I then caught on. It was a tricky day but I caught one and my friend had 2. It's a reasonable cost and a very tranquil setting with 6 ponds to choose from and I'd highly recommend it. If Shirley is there then you're in for a treat! I had carrot cake 🍰😋
A gem of a fishery in Churt,Surrey.Hidden down a track through a wooded narrow valley, the three main lakes are flushed by a stream. Several smaller ponds are dotted about amongst the trees. The fishery (aka Robinswood) is well maintained and offers a variety of challenging marks, together with many ‘relaxing’ spots - including the fishing hut.The lakes differ in character but offer feisty trout throughout but common to all, and a blessing - you can easily spend a day on a dry fly. Prolific hatches throughout the season.Reasonably priced as well!A lovely spot to spend the day.
In short it really is the complete package. Spread over 6 ponds/lakes it has everything that a fly fisherman could want. Hard fighting fish (browns, rainbows, tigers and char), beautiful scenery and a welcoming environment.I have visited Frensham a dozen or so times and every time I am excited to go back. The addition of Shirley and her breakfast baguettes as well as delicious homemade cakes, what’s not to love.With everything that we as fly fishers are experiencing in the south with price hikes and closures, Matt is doing a fantastic job in building what I think is one of the best small still-water fisheries in the South.Long may it continue.
Fantastic relaxing day of fly fishing with my wife around lovely people, meeting Sophisticated Shirley and trying the delicious Victoria sponge cake she cooked was a highlight!I like the fact that this is a catch and release lakes up to 6 fish you get to enjoy your surrounding a little more because of this. Will be looking forward to eating two of the fish we took home. Highly recommend.
Excellent fishery.We organised a private day for a group of friends and our experience was very positive. Jeff and Matt did their best to accommodate all our asks and we had a fabulous trip.The lakes are accessible and approachable, without being overly manicured, and the quality of fish was great. The fly life is good and having running water through a few of the lakes adds makes the fishing more entertaining.We will return.
A real gem of a fly fishing experience, lovely father and son business. Very reasonable prices for half day ticket or full day ticket, the variety of fish and the quality of them is exceptional, the fish give you a real strong fight, no matter the size. Can't recommend this place enough, it's very peaceful, constant sound of running water and birds, it's so tranquil. Couldn't hear any cars and maybe once in a while a plane, but hardly noticable.Fantastic day out and can't wait to come again. Thanks to Jeff and Matt, they are very accommodating with ticket changes and any gear requirement.
