Nice pics.
I'm a Bailiff on the Downton Stretch.
The Burgate stretch through the shallows have plenty of nice Grayling when in season and some huge trout.
Hope to meet up with you soon

Thanks for the comment, I look forward to meeting up, I am very much a novice on the Avon, but enjoying the learning.

What a beautiful waterway :) thanks for sharing these lovely rivers and streams Peter :)

Many thanks for your comment.

I fished those beats back in the 1970's, Downton was a village back then, the Bull Hotel used to sell tickets, indeed many of the pubs had fishing back then, the Bat and Ball had a stretch at Fordingbridge. I was however chasing coarse fish back then, now I mostly fly fish, hope you do well on there, it is still a lovely river.

Thank you for commenting. I have yet to land a fish from these waters , but I am hopefully.

I've (course) fished the Avon a few times, back in the day. A beautiful river, but I always find it a little intimidating for some reason. Probably just it's reputation. Cheers chap.

Thank you, I feel the same, it is a big river.

Lovely. Ideal for some wet flies?? :-)

Thank you, and I think you are right, the mayflies are a bit late this year.
