As I'm quite new to this and don't really know the rivers on here that well, does anyone have any recommendations? I have been fishing the Marden which is beautiful and I plan to get involved on the Hampshire Avon in the summer for a few days, but as I have to travel just wondering if there are more shallow rivers like this I should try?

Lacock and most of the BA get 'Hammered' ! The HA is fascinating, but 'rock hard' ! The Marden.......well, I have my edges in clear conditions......In the winter it's been very, very hard ! You have to remember that those who catch, put the effort and time in ! Believe me, it ain't 'Easy Easy' ! There are other rivers which are , but I will leave that to PM's ......

In the summer a 2 hr sess is more than enough ! This time of year, sometimes it ain't. It's all about being out there at the right time (and place of course) ! Wanted to go today, air temp this afternoon was around 15 ! But couldn't 'buy' the time ! Cheers Paul M......
