River Avon
Britford Fishery - Britford, Wiltshire.
Near Salisbury in Wiltshire all the Avon venues are fast chalk stream fisheries. These are excellent winter fisheries and produce fish to specimen sizes. Roach have been caught up to 3lbs and fish close to 2lbs are not uncommon when they are targeted big pieces of flake being the favoured bait. Other fish worth trying for are the barbel with fish over 10lb, chub reaching and even passing 7lb plus quality dace, perch and pike. Also one fish that is fast disappearing from many rivers the grayling.
This is a true fishing Mecca.
With approximately 7 miles of riverbank, Britford is divided into 4 sections; Harnham Bridge and Island, Bridge Farm, Rectory Farm and the Old River. Our River Keeper, Stuart Wilson will tell you all you need to know bankside, to make the most of this wonderful stretch of river.
