The lakes are big. Very big. And so is the shop, with a very large range of fishing gear and clothing. A shop for serious fishing people. There is also a nursery lake and a lake you can hire privately for a group. There is a railway station nearby.

Very knowledgeable staff, who take time to explain & demonstrate the products.I had a very nice experience buying a new fly rod.I would recomend a visit if you intend to buy a new rod, as you will be allowed to try many different types.

Needed new waders & decided on Simms. Rang shop & they kept 2 sizes back for me. What a really amazing place, glad I dropped in rather than purchase on-line as the size I thought was right was to short. Next size up perfect. The staff were really helpful & knew their stuff. Perfect.

Really great place. Beautifully landscaped and a great shop on sight to pick up anything from small bits to full set ups. Staff are really knowledgeable, had a casting lesson with Robin who was fantastic. Easy to get to from the station so handy for Londoners too. Also a bonus- the trout from here are delicious !

Very impressed with Sportfish! Ordered my Simms Flyweight Jacket on a free delivery service, but it arrived within 24 hours professionally packaged and with two discount vouchers included. Love the jacket! Will definitely be back to spend those vouchers soon!

Came into the store a few days ago to ask many questions about fly fishing as I?m new to it.Staff were extremely helpful, not trying to just make money out of me.I will be returning in the coming weeks for some kit and a couple of lessons to get me going.Thank you for your honest advice, it?s been very helpful and given me more confidence.P.S. Lake and grounds look stunning!

just had a fly fcasting lesson at Sports fish, I thought I was a fairly ok caster but this lesson was amazing the instructors knowledge was obvious but his ability to make you understand where you need to develope was fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson, I learned so much and would highly recomend sports fish to anyone who is struggling or wants to learn a little more

As Orvis London has closed down came down here to purchase a new pair of waders and boots . The two hour journey was well worth it . Set in which felt like Apple Park the corporate headquarters of Apple surrounded by trout lakes .Have to say Simon was outstanding. Jonathan was spot on . Really appreciate your expertise. It almost felt like going to fly fishing heaven to purchase ones waders . Amazing experience.Thanks guys

Turned up for a lesson, checked in the morning that it was all booked okay. after driving an hour nothing was in the diary and had to go home. Awful.

I've been ordering from Sportfish online for a while now and it's always been great. I visited the Theale center for the first time for a lesson which was brilliant and to try some rods before buying. I would highly recommend trying a rod before buying because I decided on a rod I wouldn't have otherwise considered (and the one I had in mind didn't suit me by comparison). The staff were very friendly and patient whilst I tried many rods before making my purchase. Highly recommended.
