Dever Springs has legendary status amongst trout anglers as the place to go for the fish of a lifetime. Set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside, the two spring-fed lakes have regularly produced rainbow trout tipping the scales at over 30lbs, with Dever Springs currently holding the British record for brown trout at 28lb 1oz. Reopened as an exclusive big trout water available only to private parties and groups, it features a stylish lodge overlooking the lakes with veranda, fire pit, and in-house catering. There is also a half-mile beat on the River Dever. Experienced and novice fly fishers are welcome, with qualified instructors, tackle and flies supplied, and no limit on fish caught.
