No images available
For sheer variety the fishing at Wrackleford is hard to better with five beats that have bank or wading options, plus a good blend of wild fish supplemented by a healthy balance of stocking. In recent years owner Oliver Pope has greatly improved the fishing with easier access, banks that are trimmed without being manicured and huts. Four of the beats are on the main River Frome and the fifth, The Bricks, is the carrier. Each main river beat is suitable for one or two Rods, with The Bricks ideal for one Rod.
