Fly Fishing on the Midford Brook: Monkton Combe to Midford Meadow.
 

Located in the picturesque countryside south of Bath, the Midford Brook flows from the confluence of the Wellow and Cam brooks at Midford through Monkton Combe to join the Bristol Avon.  This stretch of water is a true gem, providing a varied and challenging experience for fly anglers both from the bank and wading.  The brook carries a good population of wild brown trout and grayling and the occasional coarse fish at certain times of the year.  The upstream sections are trickle stocked with rainbow trout.  All brown trout and grayling are strictly catch and release.

​

• Pocket water and riffles with some fast-flowing sections with oxygen-rich water where trout wait for drifting nymphs.
   

• Deep pools and slow glides – perfect for a careful dry fly presentation or a weighted nymph.
   

• Undercut banks and tree-lined sections – ideal lies for larger, more cautious fish that require accurate casting.
   

• A rewarding challenge for anglers of all levels
