The Little Syndicate will be limited to twenty anglers this 2018 season, each paying an annual subscription of £200.00, due in January, which allows unlimited fishing on all of the Little Syndicate’s rather lovely waters.
Four lovely beats on three very different little rivers, a year’s fishing including fabulous Mayfly hatches and winter Grayling fishing.
River Frome – Lower Wraxall Brook
*New beat from 2017 (ST 57705 00859) Wild Brown Trout
The Little syndicate has exclusive use of a mile of the Wraxall Brook, which is a small tributary of the River Frome in the depths of this beautiful county. This is true Lilliput fishing for stunning wild brown trout amongst its tiny riffles, fallen trees, pocket water and larger pools which makes it ideal for ultra-light tackle, even Tenkara.
River Frome – The Dairy House Carrier
(SY 73366 90195) Wild Brown Trout and Grayling
This is another classic piece of wild Chalk Stream fishing, a field away from our famous “Home Beat” another half a mile of fishing, Grayling and Trout.. We do have the occasional house guest on this beat.
This will also allow you one day on our “Home Beat” to suit… Wild Brown Trout and Grayling
River Frome – Watery Beat
(SY 76750 91285) Wild Brown Trout and Grayling
This is a carrier, locally known as the “North Stream” only a couple of miles downstream of our Dairy House in West Stafford near Tincleton.
We have the true left bank upstream of the bridge for two fields and the true left bank downstream of the lane for one field, a total of just under half a mile of wild fishing.
You will need to wade these beats and it is ideal for a few hours fishing in search of a large Grayling or a wild Brown Trout. (I do let a very occasional day ticket)
River Piddle – Ilsington Park
*New beat from 2017 (SY 75795 94570) Wild Brown Trout
On the upper Piddle, another one of Dorset’s stunning chalk streams, at Puddletown, behind old metal gates and a walled garden, flowing through stunning parkland, about 850 m of fishing on the true right bank.
Little Syndicate
This is a rather special syndicate with lovely people passionate about their wild fishing… We also have at least one work party on our beats, a great way to meet other members and to learn a little bit about “River Keeping”.
During the 2017 season several Grayling over the magical 3lb were caught along with a rather special Brown Trout of over 4lbs.
