The Amherst Lodge Fly Fishery

"The local trout fishery with the national reputation"

Set in 140 acres of outstanding natural beauty near Lyme Regis on the Dorset / Devon border, Amherst Lodge is an idyllic fly fishing hideaway. On the valley floor, six shimmering freshwater trout lakes are fed by the River Lym.

Now approaching their thirtieth year, the Amherst Lodge lakes are well established. The excellent quality of the water and the mature waterside plant life produce a superb environment for fish, wildlife and angler alike.

The now regular reviews of Amherst Lodge in the angling press invariably omit one of the most popular aspects of the fishery - its setting. Whilst the fishing is not to be underrated, many visitors are struck by the sheer beauty of the Amherst Lodge Valley and its serenely tranquil surroundings.

The Amherst Lodge Lakes are home to peak condition fish, noted for their tail size, fin formation and hard fighting qualities. Natural predation ensures strong, healthy fish stocks and great fishing experiences. Perhaps the most telling thing about the Amherst Lakes is that people return to them over and over again.
