Three prime stretches totalling 111 pegs of varying depth and space, just below a spawning site so excellent fishing both early summer and throughout the season. Last season we recorded 50 double figure barbel to 14lbs 6ozs, whilst our chub record stands at 6lbs 1oz, caught in 1998. This season has started well with a river record barbel of 15lb 8oz.

We run regular open matches on both the river and the lakes. The river match record is 65lbs 2ozs which was made up of 12 barbel to 10lbs.

The main section of the Avon was featured in "Screaming Reels" magazine and is noted for quality bags of chub, roach and barbel with 40lbs often being topped on good days. The first 34 pegs fish well to the waggler and stick float, with the feeder working well when the fish are feeding on the bottom. The bottom 38 pegs have a little extra depth and fish well on the feeder or stick float. In warm weather the waggler towards the middle works well.

The second section is called the Lock Cut and comprises 19 pegs on the lock arm and 10 pegs on the main river. These pegs fish well all year round, but especially when there is extra water in the river. This section contains a large head of roach, chub and perch, carp to 20lb and a few quality tench. Pole, stick float, waggler and feeder methods all work well on these pegs.

Best baits are maggot or caster on float tackle. When fish start to show, keep feeding little and often. Luncheon meat or worm work well fishing a static bait for big chub and barbel.

The third section is called the Pump House and has 10 pegs. This is situated above Harvington Weir and the water is deep and slow moving. Big bream, roach and chub are all in abundance. Best methods are stick float or feeder.

Cars can be driven right up behind most pegs (unless it’s too wet). A few pegs require a short walk
