This stretch has been operated for a number of years as an exclusive stocked fishery with Triploid Brown Trout available for a limited number of paying rods for fly fishing. Grayling are also present. Further details and Catch Records are available from Messrs Giles Wheeler-Bennett upon request.

The Portsmouth Services Fly Fishing Association (PSFFA) has managed and occupied the fishing for a number of years on an annual licence.
