Top class trout water. The Place is full of big fish. �

The staff are really friendly

Always helpful and make a lovely cuppa and bacon sandwich.

The fishery is top notch with good fit finned fish,and always the chance of a double figured one..

Thank you Alison for everything it really means a lot ..beautiful place for Jimmy

Probably the best fishery in the North and managed by the most pleasant people I have ever met.

Put Chatton on your Must Visit List, you won't be disappointed, trust me.

Only my second experience of fly fishing yesterday, my first also being here earlier in the year when I visited the family caravan in wooler. Both times I've really enjoyed it the staff, lakes and the scenery are all excellent and I'll definitely be returning.

One of my favourite trout fisheries. Very friendly staff and value for money

Lovely place to fish! Always made to feel welcome by all the staff...

I first visited Chatton a few years ago when I first started fly fishing. The warm welcome, help and advice I received on that first visit was invaluable and Chatton remains one of my favourite fisheries.

The staff are always pleasant, the lodge is first class and the fishery itself is first class and always in great condition. There's loads of fish with some real specimens too.

Even if the fishing is slow the location and scenery more than make up for it......even the drive to get there is beautiful.

Great fishery which doesn’t disappoint. Hard going today but the fish still playing the game. Made to feel very welcome with the regular anglers keen to share their local knowledge

Great day first 5.5lb caught beautiful fish very friendly staff

Fished at Chatton fisheries for a number of years now. The staff make you feel welcome and are really friendly and helpful. The 3 lakes are always well stock with good fighting fish no mater what size. There are no obstacles behind so is a fantastic venue for new comers to fly fishing (no snags) Recommended to give this fishery ago as the surrounding area and back drop are breath taken

First time at chatton today was a great day got my 4 bag limit be back again

Fantastic fishery. Really friendly staff that go the extra mile to help you. 3 brilliant lakes with lots of fresh hard fighting trout

Excellent fishing. Delicious bacon roll. Gorgeous scenery.

Class fishery ,, clean well maintained,, probably the best fishery in the north of England

Chatton in my opinion is the best all round fly fishery in the North of England. Superb quality fish, beautiful surroundings and amazing kind hospitality. Roger and Alison are always helpful and friendly everytime �

Brilliant! Family and staff are 1st class! Also the anglers who use it are very helpful and friendly too (men and women). Would highly recommend this fishery to everyone.

Brilliant day out at a great location. The day started with a warm welcome followed by a tasty bacon & egg bap and a mug of tea. The lakes were calm as it was a beautiful winters morning and the fish were lively and feeding well. This is a great fishery, well stocked with healthy specimens. We will be back
