Loading the latest daily flow…
Daily average flow at River Test at Chilbolton (total flow), compared with the station's own record since 1995 for the same time of year. The Environment Agency publishes each day's average the next morning, so this describes the latest complete day; the live level below shows any change since. A rule of thumb from flow alone, not a guarantee. No flow forecast: in testing, river models missed most blown-out days on these rivers.

These gauges describe the Test near Chilbolton, upstream of Stockbridge. Levels and flows can differ between individual carriers and fishing beats.
Water temperature unavailable in this panel. Air temperature below is the weather forecast.
Readings are provisional. A reading older than 6 hours is marked out of date. Level and flow alone do not establish whether a beat is fishable.

Clear chalk-stream water and managed banks make this a classic dry-fly trip. Rod places are booked on individual beats; a riverside footpath does not give fishing permission.
You came from a self-guided day-trip search. The calculator starts with one fishing day and no guide. Licence, permit, travel and any other costs still apply.
These are the businesses this page's prices and fly lists come from. A listing isn't an endorsement, and nobody pays to be here.
