A healthy walk through woods and open countryside brings you to this mile and a half stretch of the River Wey. Travelling light and adopting a catch and move approach has a double advantage here. Not only are you likely to catch extra fish, but you will also be able to appreciate more of this lovely little river in a session.
Like the Society’s other stretch of the Wey listed here, members may fly-fish for trout in the appropriate season at no extra charge. (All trout to be returned to the water.)
River Wey Broomfield Cottage

Mainly Chub to 4lb
Barbel to 12lb+
Grayling, Roach, Dace, Perch, Pike and Trout.
A small river where mobility is the key to success, particularly where chub are concerned. There are three quarters of a mile of the river at Broomfield Cottage, an additional mile of river on the Somerset Bridge section, plus a further two thirds of a mile, fishing on the opposite bank downstream at Woodside Farm. These are seldom busy stretches of the Wey
A mobile style of fishing is suggested for this small river. Chub are the predominant species and average from 2lb to over 4lb Pike up to 20lb, Dace Roach, Perch, Grayling, Trout and the odd Carp and Barbel to 10lb are present. Weed can be a problem in the summer months.
The Society remembers one of its past members, the late Ron Hayes, who spent many hours catching Chub at Broomfield. A trophy is awarded each year for the biggest Chub from this water. Members catching a good fish should contact the Hon. Secretary or Bailiff as soon as possible after its capture.
