Timsbury T5 Beat Booking - Trout Season

Come and spend a day on one of our highly coveted stretches of the Test, and step far back in angling history, to a time when the pace of life allowed for a deep enjoyment of time on the river.

Booking Type

The Timsbury 5 beat is mid to lower stretch of the main river Test with an idyllic chalkstream carrier. There is just under half a mile of main river fishing and 370 yards of carrier, which is catch and release. The main river has a moderate flow rate with shallows and deep runs. It has good aquatic fly with a good mayfly and prolific sedge hatches later in the summer.

Exclusive vs Individual Bookings

Exclusive bookings: The base price is for up to 4 rods, and will guarantee you exclusive use of the beat on the chosen day. You will be able to add additional rods and a guide to your order while booking.

Individual bookings: For an individual rod on the beat on the chosen day. No minimum rod limit per booking. Exclusive use of the beat is not guaranteed. 

Guide availability

Guides are charged at £285 per day and are only available for exclusive bookings. If you are booking an individual rod and would like a guide, please contact our customer service team.

The date or day I want to book is unavailable for the type of booking I require, can you help?

I'd like to book a bespoke experience on the beat e.g. special occasions or corporate days, can you help?

Yes! Please contact our bookings team who will be happy to help design your day.

Is the beat wheelchair friendly?

All of our beats offer limited wheelchair access however, by their nature, riverbanks are uneven, natural surfaces.

Can I bring my own guide for the day?

No. However, we do offer a guided service. For exclusive bookings this can be selected during booking. For individual rods, please contact our bookings team.

Can I bring my dog?

Service dogs are of course permitted, however we would request that you do not bring any other family pets for the day, as this can create difficult situations on the riverbank.

What should I do if I need to cancel my booking?

Please refer to the Orvis Day Lettings: Terms and Conditions for our cancellation policy.
