About River Hamps, Leek and District Fly Fishing Association
The River Hamps is a small Staffordshire stream and a tributary of the River Manifold, and Leek and District Fly Fishing Association says it owns the fishing rights. The association does not say how much of the stream it holds or where, so no map position is given here.
It holds wild brown trout and grayling. The association says the clear water and shallow riffles can make the stream seem to hold few fish, but it has produced sizeable ones. It is lightly fished, so light tackle and a careful approach matter. Mayflies hatch in good numbers and cased caddis are plentiful, as members find on working parties.
This is members’ water, with a waiting list and no day tickets.
