Day Ticket Fishing
Created in the early 1980’s, water from the main River Test was diverted through various water meadows and woods to form this fishery. This holds the appeal of fishing the famous River Test on a man-made fishery. Cottage Stream beat is a true carrier of the River Test.
Individuals or groups can book fishing days and feel totally secluded and at one with nature. Deer, Kingfishers, Red Kites and Buzzards are just a few examples of the wildlife that can be seen throughout the day. The season runs 1st May to 12th October, when fishing can be booked on any available day.
You can take a maximum of 2 brace of fish per person, all wild fish to be returned carefully.
The fishery is split into four beats; Cottage Stream, Garden Stream, Alder Stream and Woodland Stream. Most of the fishing is double bank, Cottage Stream is the only single bank fishing. A total of 2.17 miles of riverbank can be fished.
