Fly Fishing on the Cam Brook: Combe Hay to Midford
 

Flowing through its picturesque valley south of Bath, the Cam Brook offers a rewarding wild brown trout fishing experience.  The two beats on this stretch of the brook present a mix of deep pools, challenging riffles, and tight, overgrown sections that demand precision and patience. Fishing the Cam Brook is an experience that rewards skill, patience, and a keen understanding of wild trout behaviour. It is a natural, unstocked fishery, offering the kind of challenging fly fishing that many anglers dream of. Whether targeting a rising fish in a slow pool or carefully working a nymph through a rocky riffle, the fishing here is as rewarding as the scenery that surrounds it. All brown trout and grayling are strictly catch and release. 
 

• Fast riffles and pocket water – ideal for tight-line nymphing, with fish often tucked into the edges of the current.
 

• Slow, glassy glides – demanding delicate dry-fly presentations, especially during mayfly and olive hatches.
 

• Tree-lined, overgrown sections with undercut banks – holding some of the brook’s larger, more cautious trout that require precise roll casting.
