Chalkstream fly fishing with Fishing Breaks

Chalk stream Fishing

River Avon

It is not justified, but for reasons of history & chance the River Avon seems to be forever in the shadow of the Test & Itchen. Rising on the Wiltshire/Berkshire border the river flows southward for over 40 miles until it reaches the sea at Christchurch. The lower sections are famous for salmon, including the legendary Royalty pool. But for trout fishermen the pick of the beats are upstream of Salisbury, especially over Salisbury Plain where Frank Sawyer, inventor of the Pheasant Tail Nymph, lived & keepered for all his life.

ENFORD CHURCH

Memories of Frank Sawyer are at every turn of the Avon as it flows across Salisbury Plain; Enford Church was, and still is, part of the extensive waters owned by the Army that Sawyer had under his care.

The Enford beat is very typical of Wiltshire’s premier river above Amesbury with its fast flow, medium depth & width, good growth of ranunculus & variety of fly hatches. The fishing flows through the water meadows that once again, are very typical of this part of the river valley. The meadow channels, despite many years of disuse, still operate in the wet winters providing a great habitat for fly life to thrive.

The beat is ideal for one or two Rods and has a large native brown trout population, supplemented by stocking & there are many grayling.
