Famous Fishing

Founded by William Daniel in 1995, Famous Fishing arranges fly fishing on the chalk streams of Hampshire and Wiltshire, with a portfolio that spans the River Test, River Itchen, River Avon, River Kennet, and the Lambourn, along with Avon tributaries including the Wylye, Nadder, Ebble, and Bourne Rivulet, as well as the Anton and Dever. The company offers guided days, day lets, and corporate bookings on some of the finest chalk stream waters in the south of England. On the Itchen, Famous Fishing holds access to two stretches of the upper river, as well as beats on the Alre and Candover, available on a daily basis — water that is otherwise almost entirely private or syndicated.

The Avon's tributaries offer fishing for wild brown trout, and Famous Fishing has access to the Avon and all its tributaries. The company caters for individuals and groups of all sizes, whatever the skill level, and also offers fly fishing tuition. Daniel founded Famous Fishing with the aim of accessing otherwise inaccessible chalk stream fishing, and the company's long-standing relationships with riparian owners give it reach into beats that rarely come onto the open market.
