We are going to fish both the lakes and a small bit of the Avon next to the lakes.
I had a meeting with one of the other fishermen that are going with me over thare, saw some pictures he took last year, MAN there are som fine browns and grayling. I just cant wait to get over there !!
He didnt say anything abut, it only beeing upstream fishing but i guess i will se that for myselve when i get there in september. Actually i'm going to be overther on my birthsday, can anyone wish for a better birstday present ?? - i dont think så.
I have started tying flies in small sizes, i think the biggest flies i'm going to bring is size 12 and down to 22, and a whole big bunch of them too, wouldent like to run out of good flies.
Again thanks for all the info and flypatterns.

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 helpsKP----- Original Message -----From: Vagn HansenSent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 4:25 PMSubject: 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 :-)
