Featured Water - Albury Estate Fisheries, Guilford, Surrey
Be it lake or river sport, the infrastructure of the Albury Estate Fisheries backs up an expert fisheries management team, offering a quality of fishing that is really second to none. Our trout farms provide tip-top condition hard fighting rainbows and browns, whilst the lakes are purpose built for trout fishing, which all goes to provide a superb quality fishing experience. The lakes were created in the late seventies, and many of them have featured the overhauling of redundant millpond areas within a valley which has been archaeologically rich in harnessing the power of water. By the early nineties, Albury had assembled four prime waters, namely – Powdermills, Weston, Park and Vale End – with Syon Park coming on stream in 1994 to complete the collection of fisheries.

Women and fly fishing (article courtesy of the New York Times)
Women are taking up fly fishing in record numbers, and the sport will never look the same again: waders, traditionally a drab green, now come in pink and purple.
"There is an explosion of interest among women that's taken off in the last two years," said Margot Page, the editor of The American Fly Fisher, the quarterly journal of the American Museum of Fly Fishing, in Manchester, Vt. "Many men fish to get away from women, but now they have to accept the galling reality that they can't escape."
Tip on releasing fish back to the water.
Use the net to carry the fish back to the water and, choosing a suitable spot, lower it into the water. Let the rim of the net down and guide the fish over the rim, facing into the current. Usually the fish will simply swim away strongly and no more attention is needed. Occasionally it will be necessary to cradle the fish in wet hands (always have wet hands when handling any fish or you will damage the fish), again with its head and mouth facing into the current until the fish is ready to swim away. When the fish has clearly regained its composure it will swim away. |
