Flyfishing holidays in the UK

Great Takes Travel has three outstanding UK locations to offer: the beautiful River Kennet in Southern England and the aptly named River Eden and other locations in the North - including salmon fishing on the Tweed. Please contact us about the fishing rates on the Tweed.

On the Kennet within a private estate near Hungerford in Berkshire, Great Takes guests can experience some of the very best nymph and dry fly fishing for browns and rainbows between 2lbs and 6lbs

Great Takes are pleased to offer privilege rate accommodation and 5 star luxury at the world-renowned Vineyard Hotel near Newbury, situated just 15 minutes from the river.

Exclusively owned by Sir Peter Michael, the Vineyard has won countless awards and accolades and earned this praise in respected travel guide, 'Ogilvy's Britain & Ireland':

"… the service is impeccable. Everyone from the doorman who escorts you from your car through to the serving staff, is remarkably courteous, friendly and helpful."

In the North near Penrith, you can fish for wild trout, salmon, sea trout and "world class" grayling of up to 4lbs. We have exclusive fishing rights on nearly 2 miles of private water on the River Eden - only available to Great Takes guests. It is a truly spectacular stretch of the river with a mix of deep pools, waterfalls and slow and fast moving water.
