woodland and hilly meadows. The six lakes<br />
– all but one stepped down the valley, with<br />
water cascading from one to the next – all fish<br />
differently (rainbows, blue and browns) and<br />
include specimen-only lakes. All spring- and<br />
brook-fed with good supply of natural food.<br />

A HAVEN in a wooded valley on the Duke of<br />
Norfolk’s Estate at Arundel, West Sussex. Four<br />
spring-fed lakes totalling five acres, cool and<br />
clear water. Stalk quality browns and rainbows<br />
stocked daily. Controlled weed and abundant<br />
plant life guarantee insects. Try Damsels,<br />

also effective, especially in the winter.<br />

SCreeBe eStateS<br />
Co GALWAY’S Screebe House is the centre-piece for a flyfishing<br />
bonanza that takes in numerous loughs and rivers on the Screebe<br />
estate, offering anglers and their ‘other halves’ a luxurious getaway, as<br />
well as the chance of brown trout, sea trout and salmon alike. Screebe<br />
will take care of the required permits, traditional fishing boats are<br />
available and the services of a gillie can also be reserved. Screebe<br />
House itself is a Victorian fishing lodge that has become famous for its<br />
comfort, hospitality and fine cuisine. With landscaped gardens, antique<br />
interiors and views over Camus Bay, it’s a fishing lodge in the way that<br />
St Paul’s Cathedral is a church…<br />
