Chalkstream Fly Fishing At Testcombe On The River Test

In this video Alex Jardine introduces the Testcombe beat on the River Test. Testcombe is situated on the upper River Test, just downstream from the delightful village of Wherwell. It was once the chosen fishing spot of King George VI and offers a wonderful variety of water with both the main river and several interesting carriers to explore for two to three anglers. Your HQ for the day is the spectacular Grade II listed fishing hut which dates back to 1888 and is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in a day’s chalkstream fly fishing. The chalkstream fly fishing suits all abilities, with wide main river and intimate carriers offering deep holes, overhangs and shallow glides.

Looks wonderful. Just a question does anyone know a person that at the time drove a Suzuki jeep, and apparently worked for the fisheries as a keeper. He advertised on a website called sporting swap shop
Swapping a day's pheasant shooting for a day on the test for greyling
He had a good day's shooting
But we have not heard from him
Since. Upon asking about the day's fishing he answered with a smile face icon. He claimed to know everyone on the river.
We are not worried about the fishing
But would like to give him a talking to This certainly gives the sportsmen a bad reputation. The Suzuki had blue writing on the side.
He refused to come to the traditional shoot dinner after. My cousin who often fished the test asked him if he knew certain people that worked there, he said he did.

Sorry, absolutely no idea, but that’s pretty rubbish.. problem is there are many different keepers on the Chalkstreams all employed by different estates, so that’s going to be very hard to track down….
