Fishing the Hampshire Avon and tutorage at Undercastle Cottage

Fishing
The Hampshire Avon is regarded by many as one of the best fly fishing rivers in the UK and Undercastle Cottage owns an impressive 1100 yards of this famous river’s banks for guests to fish from. The stretch of river either side of the cottage is wildly pretty with plentiful wildlife and overhanging trees, plants and shrubs providing sanctuary. The river has a plentiful food source from an abundant variety of fly hatches, providing fishermen with rod bending experiences to catch mighty barbel, chub, salmon, carp, pike, dace, grayling and trout.

Tutorage
Take a few steps across Undercastle Cottage’s garden, and you’re on the banks of 1100m of private fishing on the famous Hampshire Avon – home to some of the best coarse and fly fishing in the country. It’s perfect for some great guilt-free fishing while your non-fishing friends and family relax in the comfort and luxury of the cottage. While staying at Undercastle Cottage, there’s an opportunity to learn (or brush up) on your fly and coarse fishing skills with private tuition tailored to your requirements.
Chat to us about what you’re looking for, and we will arrange for an expert fly or coarse fishing guide to come to Undercastle Cottage and coach either one to one or up to six guests of all ages and abilities staying at the cottage. Rods, bait and licences are all included.
