The Tone rises on the Brendon Hills above Wellington and runs through Taunton and the Somerset Levels to its junction with the Parrett near Burrow Bridge. The fly fishing is on the upper river above Wellington — modest wild brown trout water on Brendon Hills sandstone, with the kind of small-stream character that suits a quiet morning rather than a destination day. Below Taunton the river is dominated by coarse species and the slow, navigable lowland water of the Levels; fly fishing there is a niche. The upper Tone is worth knowing about for Somerset-based anglers who want a small wild-trout option without driving to Exmoor.
