Spring is in the air / Trout are in the lakes
I’m pleased to advise that we’ve just had our first major stock of the year earlier today (15th March). This included c240 fish, all 4 main species – browns, rainbows, tigers and spartics (including a few 4/5 lb’ers ). Water conditions are good and there has been a noticeable increase in insect activity. All-in-all a perfect combination for some great fly fishing.
Tight lines,
Matt Carroll (Fishery Manager)
Fly tying
Fly tying is an interesting and important part of fly fishing. Getting the flies right/matching the hatch can have a significant impact on a successful day’s fishing, or otherwise. Our good friend and regular visitor to Frensham, Tim Glass (pictured) demonstrated his excellent skills at a small event we held recently. For more information please feel free to contact me.

Stocking and more………..
In line with our policy of continually reviewing our stocking policy, we would like to give you the heads-up on the following:
- We have established relations with more locally based suppliers (in order to strengthen our supply chain) – the early results are promising!
- We are now stocking more larger fish (typically 4-6lbs), as well as the regular 2-3lb’ers
- Our species range includes Browns, Rainbows, Spartics and Tigers (we are no longer stocking Blues, as we find these tend to be more fickle and deteriorate quicker)
- All Browns are to be released (stocked and wild)
Weatherwise, with more constant water levels as well as air/water temperatures (both day and night), fishing conditions are holding up very well indeed.
Hope to see you soon.

Return of the Trout Ticklers
We were very pleased to host locally based society, The Illustrious Company of Trout Ticklers (TICOTT), once again this year at Frensham. 14 seasoned anglers came along last weekend and enjoyed a full days fly fishing in more favourable weather conditions than last year, when it dropped down to minus 5 degs! On conclusion of proceedings, the much coveted annual trophy (photographed) was duly presented along with some vouchers to allow those winners to return to Frensham in the New Year. We are very grateful that this most amiable group have selected Frensham over the years and very much hope they continue to do so.
