Avon

Cleeve Prior
Beware overhead powerlines

DESCRIPTION

Typical Warwickshire Avon with an even flow and regular depth averaging 6-8 feet. Bream, Chub, Roach, Pike, Barbel & Tench can all be found here. Best methods are swimfeeder, stick float and waggler, with maggots the best bait.

The riverside path along part of Cleeve Prior No. 1 section has been temporarily closed owing to bankside damage caused by recent high water levels. In places the pathway has slipped into the river and is now considered too dangerous for members to negotiate. Closure signs have been erected at both ends of the closed section, between the bottom of Marlcliff "C" section and the upstream boundary of the Cleeve Parish Wharf.
