Winkworth Flyfishers are part of the Godalming Angling Society

WE ARE OPEN FOR NEW MEMBERS

We fish Rowes Flashe Lake at Winkworth Arboretum a beautiful National Trust water of some 5 acres, set in an eye-catching valley above Godalming and close to the village of Hascombe. Our season starts early spring ( depending on stocking) and continues through to the end of November. The first stocking of trout is in mid March, with triploid rainbows and browns ranging from 2 lbs to 4lbs. . Parking is available in the Lower Car Park by special arrangement with the National Trust and a key is provided for entry via the locked gate.

Fishing is by boat only, so no problems on the back cast! There are two boats available, a two man boat and a one man boat, both of which are very stable platforms to fish from. Life jackets are available in the boathouse and must be worn whilst on the water.  catch and release is authorised and the bag limit for catch and take is 4 fish per week. In the summer when trout fishing can be tricky, there are plenty of carp to target using the fly

Fishing is by fly only, with no hook above number 8 to be used. You need to book in to reserve a boat before fishing.  Bookings must be made in advance by email to godalming.angling@gmail.com . All members will be issued with a key to the boathouse and fish returns must be made at the boathouse in the returns book, this includes nil returns.

After the first calendar month of the season, members may take a guest on to the water, not more than twice in seven days, at a cost of £15.00 per session. Please pay by BACS transfer.  Guests may take 2 fish but can release another 3 during each session.
