River Avon

River Avon is a river flowing through England, United Kingdom. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At River Avon, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• For European flounder

  When using lures, fish slowly along the bottom with occasional twitches to attract attention; flounder are ambush predators.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Common barbel

  Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.
