Fish The Wild Scholarship program

Apply now for the Scholarship and gain access to fly fishing in the Peak District at one of the UK's most sought-after wild fisheries.

Our Mission

The Peacock scholarship gives an opportunity for young anglers in the 15 to 17-year-olds range to apply to come and fish the PFFC waters on Haddon Estate. Haddon estate runs a wild trout fishery over four rivers. The rivers are healthy, the fly life abundant and we feel it gives a superb opportunity for a couple of scholars to learn how to fish properly on some of the best rivers in the country. Successful applicants would gain access to a superb community of anglers and Guides in the local area, and it will give a great chance for them to learn about how rivers should be managed and looked after.

  • Complimentary access to some of the best wild trout fishing in the country.

  • Welcome package.

  • Guided tour and explanation all about the fishery and how it is managed.

  • Friend of the brand loans and complimentary gear.

  • Access to advice from guides/experienced anglers from the community.
