England Fly Fishing Lodges

At roughly 50,000 square miles, England is comparable in size to the state of Louisiana, though its angling roots and influence stretch far and wide. Many of fly fishing's greatest advancements are attributed to the United Kingdom, and rivers such as the Test, Itchen, and Wye are steeped in lore dating back centuries. Though small, the country's rivers collectively make up a robust freshwater fishery for brown trout, grayling, and some opportunities for rainbows, and are well-known for their productive hatches and technical dry fly fishing. As is tradition in much of Europe, fishing these rivers is limited to fishing clubs, outfitters, or private ownership, but Yellow Dog's outfitting partners in England have an extensive network of fishing beats throughout the country that are prized and difficult to access. The program allows anglers to combine and customize their trip itinerary and maximize the number of scenic rivers, fishing scenarios, and luxury accommodations they experience during their stay. After a fishing day, enjoy fresh pints at a nearby pub, or opt for dining in at the high-end hotels hand-selected for their attention to detail, customer service, and history. Yellow Dog is excited to offer this unique program for its rich angling tradition, high-end accommodations, and gin-clear, picturesque rivers.
