Welcome to Arnfield Fly Fishery  - A Trout Master Water!

Arnfield Fly Fishery is situated on the border crossroads of four counties: Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, & Lancashire and only a 20-30 minute drive from 3 major cities: Sheffield, Stockport and Manchester. Set in the idyllic Derbyshire village of Tintwistle Arnfield Fly Fishery is surrounded by glorious Peak District countryside and most importantly, some of the best still water traditional dry and wet fly fishing in the country.

The fishery is heavily stocked with Rainbow, Blue, and Brown trout up to 20lb in weight. All are grade one, full-finned, superb fighting fish. Our fly fishery covers 40 acres, so the fly fishing area is not too small and equally, not too big and daunting. The water is just the right size to learn the art of fly fishing and also have the freedom to move about on the banks and fish amongst the natural wild life that frequent our water.

The PH level of the water is 7.2 and lends itself to an abundance of natural fly life. There are ten 15ft Loch Lomond boats available for client use and for those of you who like to use a float tube, there’s a 900 metre solid tree line swim with fly life dropping on to the water into the mouths of the hungry trout.

The facilities have been purpose built to accommodate fly fisherman and any guests that they may wish to bring along. We can also cater for corporate group days, so why not book the water for a great day fishing with your colleagues.

Please browse our site and take a look at the gallery, video, facilities and competitive tariffs. Feel free to telephone on 01457 856 269 or email for more information. We hope to see you very soon for a warm welcome at Arnfield Fly Fishery, the home of fly fishing in the North West of England.
