Fishing methods
Upper Mill is about three quarters of a kilometre of the upper River Test at a privately owned mill house in Longparish, just upstream of Longparish House. It suits one or two rods, Upstream Dry Fly lets the days, and prices are on enquiry.
There is main river above and below the old mill, and a wild carrier. The downstream section and the mill pool are fished by wading, while the upstream reach can be fished from the bank or by gentle wading, with the walk to the river going through the gardens. The fish are wild and stocked trout, with specimen grayling too.
Upstream Dry Fly calls it a rural beat with minimal facilities but great fishing.
