Brown Trout Fishing Beats on the River Piddle

Brown trout are the reason chalk streams have their reputation: wild, river-bred fish that test a leader and reward a careful approach. Some beats on the River Piddle stock to top up numbers, others leave it to natural recruitment, so check the beat page if that matters to you. The season runs spring to autumn, with dates varying by river, roughly the end of September on Kennet-catchment waters and the end of October on the Hampshire chalk streams. Dry fly and upstream nymph are still what most beats expect.
