Avon

Where to go fishing in Avon

Avon offers a wonderful array of both lake and river fishing venues. Famous for the River Avon, which flows through the area, it is popular amongst both coarse and game anglers

River and lake fishing in Avon

Named after the River Avon which flows through the county from Bath in the east to Bristol and the Bristol Channel in the west, the county of Avon offers some beautiful river and lake fishing for both coarse and game anglers. It is also the home of one of the oldest angling clubs in the country, the Avon and Tributaries Angling Association which was founded in 1876 and offers a selection of coarse and game venues in the area.

From fishing for trout to specimen carp in Avon

Although not over endowed with commercial fisheries there are a number of delightful venues which are well worth a visit in the county of Avon, including for the fly angler the nationally renowned Blagdon Lake, Chew Magna Reservoir and Chew Valley Lake. In addition, coarse anglers will find venues offering a range of options for all abilities including specimen carp fishing and mixed coarse angling with some of the venues offering accommodation or camping facilities.
