The aims of the club

To maintain an essentially wild fishery and to strive to continue providing the highest quality of chalk stream fly fishing for its Members.  

To preserve the true sporting traditions of upstream fishing with imitative dry fly and nymph patterns.

To control the impact of fishing pressure in four ways.

1) By limiting the number of members of the Club, and their guests. Members are allocated Guest Tickets that are free to pass onto their fishing friends and colleagues. 

2) Through the promotion of catch and release which has remained at almost 100% for over twenty years.

3) Maintaining the fishing exclusively for Members.  No Day Tickets or any other form of arrangements are agreed to with any other organisation.

4) To work in harmony and under the guidance, rules and regulation with all Agencies and advisory bodies in order to achieve these goals.
