About Casterbridge Fisheries
Sitting on the middle reaches of the River Frome in the village of West Stafford, Casterbridge Fisheries is run by keeper John Aplin, who has managed this stretch of the Dorset chalk stream for over two decades. The Dairy House Home Beat has never been stocked and holds wild brown trout alongside grayling, for which the Frome is well known. The trout season opens in early April and runs through to the first week of October, with good hatches of mayfly and a range of other insect species throughout. Grayling fishing becomes more focused from October through to mid-March. Grayling on the Frome grow to record proportions, with fish caught in the past to over four pounds. The fishery offers Day tickets, Accommodation, Tuition, and anglers staying over can use the self-catering Dairy House Annexe, just a short walk across the water meadow to the beat. Day tickets start at £65. Winter grayling rods are available from £45. The fishery is located in Dorset.
Additionally, the fishery also sells day tickets to club and syndicate waters.
