Re: [VFB] Flyfishing in England....

[KEITH PASSANT]

Vagn, If its the Orvis water then you better practice your upstream fishing techniques. I have fished one ofthe Test beats that was run by Orvis and its upstream dry fly and nymph fishing only. The guy that was the bailiff is a real crusty old type that tutts a lot if you let the fly drift downstream of where you are fishing. I believe its a no wading stretch too. The flies that Ashley and Iain have suggested are fine. Small flies worked better on the water when I fished it. Dont forget grayling patterns like the Killer bug ( 12 to 16), Coves PTN 14 to 18, Grey Goose  14-18, Klinhammers in the original colour and olive work well too. CDC emergers like the "F" fly and some guy on this list has a fly called CDC and Elk I beleive that works well too !! Avon springs is a Stillwater with decent size trout (rainbows) stocked and the river is next to the lakes. I fished the river back in January for grayling and it was a bit canal like on the top end. The Avon can be a bit low during september depending on rainfall and whether the weed cutting has been done. It was quite low in January and very very clear so take your time moving along the banks. It too is no wading. Hope this helps KP ----- Original Message ----- From: Vagn Hansen To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Flyfishing in England.... I don't know so much about the beats we are going to fish. It is all arranged by a fly shop here in Denmark, but i know that it is going to be on the Orvis beats, some of the fishing or maby all of it. All i know is that I'm really looking forward to it, i have heard a lot for goof things about the 3 rivers, not to mention the pictures i have seen :-) Again, thanks for the info, i really appreciate it :-) Vagn On 01/03/06, ashley <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: Hi Vagn, Avon Springs is a fishery on the Avon that also as lakes stocked with trout(never been there).If its where I think it is there is a stretch just down stream available to fish for £10 (or $17 )a day.
