Sitting within a Hampshire estate of around four thousand acres in the Upper Itchen and Candover valleys, The Grange Estate offers fly fishing across mutltiple beats of private chalk stream water near Northington. The Candover Brook and the River Itchen both run through the estate, providing dry fly fishing for wild brown trout and grayling. Several miles of chalk stream pass through water meadows and woodland, alongside two ornamental lakes set within the landscaped park. Brown trout are in season from March to September, with grayling available from June through to March.

Most of the fishing is let to the piscatorial society: https://thepiscatorialsociety.net/
