Reasonable early season fishing likely at Avington Trout Fishery
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Avington Trout Fishery. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
One of England's most famous small stillwaters. Spring-fed, crystal-clear water that holds specimen trout to double figures. The sight fishing in clear water is as technical as any chalk stream. Fine tippets (6x-7x) and small, imitative patterns are the order of the day. A legendary fishery that has tested the best anglers.
Conditions
Approach
Start with Buzzers (12-14) on a slow figure-of-eight or hang under indicator. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Recommended flies
Active food signals
What to watch
The best window in early season is often late morning through the afternoon as the water warms.
