About Bhompston Fly Fishers
Bhompston Fly Fishers is a syndicate on the River Frome downstream of Lower Bockhampton, in Thomas Hardy country, and the valley here is quiet and out of the way. The water includes the Gardeners Beat, which adds three-quarters of a mile upstream of Bhompston Hatches to Lower Bockhampton Bridge, giving a good spread of pools, glides and riffles.
The fishing is for wild brown trout and grayling, some of them notably large. It is not easy water: takes have to be earned, and a patient, careful approach counts for more than distance. Every fish is returned. The brown trout season runs 1 April to 15 October, with grayling following from 16 June through to 14 March.
This is a syndicate rather than day-ticket water. Rods are let two to a named day, on an annual subscription of £490 per rod.
