A favourite spot of mine once, but like others have been put off by various comments, a good stretch of river as well (which I prefer to pools), Had my first ever barbel out of there, 10lb to the ounce and still my best, and several carp in the twenties from the pool. A shame as it is not far from my home. Never mind, plenty of other places. Re the photo, can't remember it being that deep.

I'm all for no close season, I doubt if it makes any difference to fish stocks, welfare or anything else. I fish the Avon, always week days, rarely do I see more than two or three other anglers, sometimes It's just me, usually it is just me in the colder months. There are thousands of fish in the river, a tiny proportion are caught. Just guessing of course but I would think 75% of the river rarely if ever sees a rod, purely because of access. I think those that are so concerned for the fish should question whether they should fish at all, a size 6 hook yanked into your lip feels the same all year round ? For most fish anglers are a lunch ticket. My point is the small number of fish caught does not justify a close season. Just saying.
