Thanks for the link John. The last time I fished in Hampshire was at Sway Lakes (before it was syndicated) and caught a 19lb+ common. That too was for one day only. If I were to be that lucky again...!

Hello musselman, 2 day ticket stretches worth trying are Royalty fishery, look here http://www.davistackle.co.uk/fisherynews/royaltynews.html

Or Lifelands, just above Ringwood, run by Christchurch angling club, day tickets available from both tackle shops in Ringwood.

Hope this helps you, good luck.

I'll be visiting relatives in Brockenhurst this summer and would love to fish the Avon. If anyone could spare the time to recommend day-ticket stretches that would be worth fishing (Barbel would be my main target) it would be much appreciated. It would be for one day only, so my chances would be pretty slim, but you've got to give it a go if you get the opportunity!

Hi avon fishers, anyone a member of Salisbury and District AC?? I have just joined and am planning on a spot of barbeling on the charford and burgate stretches, anyone have any experience of these stretches? Or any they are willing to share?! Cheers

I wouldn't mind PJ but last time round the numbers either indecisive or not interested negated anything taking place.

With the new season only a month away, has there been any thoughts about a pre-season social get-together? Damian, I know you are normally the organiser of these sort of things so I don't want to interfere if something has already started to take shape.

All the best to everyone fishing the Avon this coming season.

Nigel, that's great! Did you put it in the Royalty diary?

Damian there have been two of these blighters living in the Little Weir on the Royalty for years. They are the size of a large dinner plate now and one was actually hooked and landed last summer but I can't remember its weight. (The angler had actually weighed it before returning it to the river )

Damian, are you sure it wasn't McAvon fish spotting before his annual Spring body shave................

It's funny you should say that actually Darren. I was walking the banks the other day and saw something in the trees opposite, for a split moment, I thought it was a monkey.
I was gobsmaked when I saw that taken in the picture. I have never seen one of them before, it was fairly big too!

Bit cheeky, but might be of interest to all you Hampshire Avon fans...

I've got a selection of pictures for sale in the classifieds, including The Hampshire Avon by John Searl.

Have a look

Damian, you sure that's not a picture from India...........?

Seriously though, there are quite a few terrapins in the rivers. There was a big bugger on a stretch of the Stour I used to fish. Even in the depths of winter it would occasionally pop up in front of you whilst fishing. They can get quite big, the one on the stour being the size of a dinner plate the last time I saw it.
