The Fishery is always delighted to have Guests join Rods and Commoners on the river — a warm welcome awaits, whether this is a first visit or a return to waters already known well.
Key points
- A Guest fishes as the Guest of a Rod or Commoner, and as the rules state, that host is responsible for ensuring the Guest is familiar with the rules before fishing.
- Please take the time to read the Fishery Rules, the general information, and the section on etiquette before fishing, or discuss them with the host.
- The host is responsible for the Guest and their actions on the Fishery — work together to stay within the rules.
- Guests are welcome to use the fishing huts for lunch or a break, but please take any rubbish away when leaving.
- Catch returns matter — before leaving the Fishery, an entry must be made in the fishing log (nil returns included) in the A4 car park, so restocking can be managed effectively.
Applying for a ticket
Day tickets for Guests of Rods and Commoners are available by application. The annual number of Guest tickets per Rod, and the number issued per day, are limited at the discretion of the Water Keeper. As the number of available tickets is restricted, apply well in advance — and give notice of any cancellation as soon as possible, at the latest on the eve of the nominated day, or the ticket will be charged regardless.
Finally, if a Guest has enjoyed their time on the water and wants to know more about the beats, or apply for a rod membership, get in touch via the Fishery.
Have a great day at the Hungerford Fishery.
