Situated on the outskirts of the historic city of Winchester, Church Paddock Fishery has a one & a half acre spring fed lake set in five acres of landscaped ground. The lake holds mostly rainbow trout with some brown & blues. All fish are triploid & strong fighters, & we replace stock regularly with fish from 2lb to double figures.
The village of Headbourne Worthy is easy to locate, being about a mile from Junction 9 of the M3, & close to the A303 & A34. We have ample car parking & a fishing hut serving snacks, tea & coffee. As we only have limited rods available, booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
We have been open as a fishery since 2011 when our son Jamie who studied fish management at our local agricultural college Sparsholt, thought it would be a good business venture.
Much work has been done at Church Paddock since then & although it is still work in progress, we are very happy with the current incarnation.
We have a smokery on-site where we produce hot & cold smoked trout, pates, spreads & vistong (smoked, marinated & dried trout trimmings).
