In all about 33 acres (13.35 hectares)
Summary Abbots Worthy Fishery is an extremely picturesque beat on this world renowned chalk stream, The River Itchen. The fishery has been in the same family since 1969 but more recently has been let and is set within approximately 33 acres of attractive water meadows, a haven for wildlife and an important ecological environment. The fishery has been maintained to a very high standard by the tenant and as a result the fishing is absolutely first class with excellent fly water and opportunities to stalk fish. There is a mixture of double and single bank fishing on the Main River as well as carrier streams which should suit all levels of ability with the aquatic fly life providing plenty of hatches including Iron Blue and Large Dark Olive, and Mayflies. There is a good head of wild trout as the beat is not stocked and superb grayling fishing. Location Abbots Worthy Fishery is close to the Cathedral city of Winchester which provides excellent road and rail links to London as well as an array of amenities including restaurants, pubs and an extensive range of shops and supermarkets. Land The land totals approximately 33 acres of river frontage, grassland and woodland. The land has been managed for the fishing and the woodland has been maintained but the grassland has been largely left, which has inadvertently created a home for an abundance of wildlife including Kingfishers and Deer. The property is well protected with very little public access, there is one footpath that runs along the northern boundary of the fishery and the land is designated SSSI.
