Parking is free, as Onelastcast mentioned above when the weather is good almost impossible to have good fishing - all sort of people on the river ( I have seen peoples bathing their dogs there) + heavy boat traffic.
Next to the bridge/opposite the car park the river is wide, flat bank, then it gets narrow, bank is steeper, but that helps with the wind. Then it get wider again, especially at the neck. Plenty swims ( my last visit there was 3 weeks ago) and the farmer had the field grass cut.
P.S. Not 100% sure, but it is £20/year for Eckington AC.

Hi,
any opinions about using Melt Knot Wire instead of a traditional steel wire trace? I am tempted to give it a try, but a bit worried - would it be stronger than crimping?
Thanks

Lots of streamer weed( and all other kind of weed) this year in Avon, between Cleeve Prior and Eckington at least. Surprising, considering the amount of sh*t and agri stuff dumped in the river, especially last year. Definitely improvemet from 2021-2020, but no idea why.
