Amwell Magna Fishery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amwell Magna Fishery is located on the River Lea at Great Amwell which is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Ware in Hertfordshire, southern England.
The fishery was established in 1831[1] and is the oldest fly fishing club in the United Kingdom still fishing the same water.[2] The river was fished by Izaak Walton author of The Compleat Angler in the 17th century. The fishery has faced many problems over the years including gravel extraction, flood alleviation schemes and a major pollution in 1965.
