A healthy walk through woods and open countryside brings you to this mile and a half stretch of the River Wey. Travelling light and adopting a catch and move approach has a double advantage here. Not only are you likely to catch extra fish, but you will also be able to appreciate more of this lovely little river in a session. .
Like the Society’s other stretch of the Wey listed here, members may fly-fish for trout in the appropriate season at no extra charge. (All trout to be returned to the water.)
Suitable for most river tactics, although the venue is largely shallow with fast shallow runs into deeper areas.
Fish the deeper areas and glides for consistent sport and check out the over hanging trees and rafts for the Chub.
June 2009 to January 2010:
New FAS boards are being erected to help members identify the top boundary.
This very long section is only being lightly fished and is almost a wilderness fishery and you can expect to see Kingfishers during the day and Barn Owls if fishing at dusk.
Fish are caught on most baits, with Perch to 12oz, Chub to 3lb, Dace, Roach and very large Gudgeon with occasional Trout and Carp to 3lb.

From the A287 travelling south from Farnham, turn right at the sign post for the Frensham Pond Hotel.
At the end of Frensham Great Pond about 75 yards back from the hotel and also opposite the Bacon Lane side of the hotel. Hopefully, better parking will be gained in the near future.
Access is from the footpath opposite the Hotel. After going round the gate, turn left after 30 yards between the trees to a small gate (F.A.S. padlock), into the field, turn right and walk along to a stile, cross over and turn left. Follow the lower fence until the field, cross over the fence, turn right and walk across this field to the river bank.
