About the River Wey

The River Wey is made of two branches that meet at Tilford in Surrey. The North Wey is officially sourced at Alton in Hampshire, and the South Wey rises further south near the Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex border. From Tilford the river runs east and then north through Godalming and Guildford, on past Send, Old Woking, Pyrford, Byfleet and New Haw, and joins the Thames at Weybridge. With its branches it is about 87 miles long.

FAQ

River Wey FAQs

Common questions about fishing the River Wey, from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

01Can I fish the River Wey?
Much of the water is privately managed, but plenty of it is open to visiting anglers through day tickets, syndicate places, and club memberships. FishingBeats lists 7 beats on the River Wey, and each beat page shows who runs the water and how to book.
02How much does it cost to fish the River Wey?
Prices vary by beat, season, and how many rods share the water. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.
03When is the fishing season on the River Wey?
The statutory trout season varies by region: on the Hampshire chalk streams such as the Test and Itchen it runs 3 April to 31 October, while rivers in the Thames catchment, including the Kennet, close on 30 September. Many fisheries set shorter dates of their own within that window, and grayling fishing carries on through the winter on many beats. Check the permit dates on each beat page before you book.
04What fish can I catch in the River Wey?
Beats on the River Wey list brown trout. The mix varies from beat to beat, so check the species on the page for the water you want to fish.
05Do I need a licence to fish the River Wey?
Yes. Anyone aged 13 or over fishing for trout, salmon, or coarse fish in England needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence, bought online in daily, weekly, or annual form. It's separate from the beat ticket or syndicate fee, so factor it in before you go.
