The River Dun is one of the most important of the River Test tributaries, rising above Lockerley and joining the main river at Mottisfont Abbey. A recent Environment Agency fish survey rated it the best trout nursery in the Test catchment with four generations in a 50-yard stretch of our Dunbridge beat.

Dunbridge is a little bit of chalkstream heaven, immaculately maintained with great fishing for one rod or two friends. There are deep pools, fast riffles and plenty of shaded cover from the opposite bank that encourage fish to rise throughout the day. The river holds wild trout, grayling plus some really very large fish. Of all our beats this is one that regularly gets an evening rise.

If you are looking for a beat where you can stumble out of your bed and be on the river in moments this is the place to be. The Mill Arms is just 500 yards from the river and offers comfortable rooms. If you don’t have a car, the train station in Dunbridge village connects to London in around two hours.

The fishing is available for one or two rods.
