The hidden stillwater trout fishery of Royal Berkshire. Situated on a working farm in an area of outstanding natural beauty. We provide an exciting fly fishing experience for all our guests. Stocked each week with high-quality energetic Rainbow, Brown, Blue and Gold trout from 2lb to 8lb, the clover leaf shaped lakes set in the stunning Pang valley is an idyllic way to spend your time fly fishing. Come and experience the beauty and tranquillity that our chalk stream and spring fed Troutmasters lake provides.
Ideal for both expert and novice anglers alike, match your skills against our hard fighting fish and with over 7 acres to cover, you will always have plenty of active stalking to do for your trophy trout. A flexible choice of 2, 3 or 4 fish day tickets with no time limit or annual multi fish tickets of 25 or 50 are available. We offer a relaxed friendly atmosphere with help and advice should you need it, plus a relaxing waterside lodge offering free tea and coffee. With rustic picnic tables all around, fully appointed toilets, disabled access and easy parking, we are a great place to enjoy your sport.
We are open from March to October, six days a week from 9am until twilight, with Wednesday set-aside exclusively for charity, club or corporate days. We are just 3 miles from exit 12 on the M4 and a great place to spend the day or just a few hours away from the office and there is no pre-booking required for day tickets.
A great fishery, stunning lakes, good quality running water, fish that you can eat and very friendly staff. Keep up the great work!
This is my 3rd season at Barn Elms and I fish every Thursday whether permitting. I have only fished other lakes a few times since discovering Barn Elms as I believe it’s hard to beat.
Really enjoyed our day, and we come every month at the very least. Brilliant location, and stunning views with outstanding fishing. We have always had a full bag and this season the fish are bigger, not had anything under 2.5lb. Thanks for an outstanding fishery.
