JANUARY/FEBRUARY Grayling Fishing on the Hampshire Avon.
The BRFFA club members have been offered an exclusive deal by fellow club member Malcolm Hunt, who runs Manningford Fisheries in Wiltshire. Attached to his lakes, he has the fishing rights to about 2.5 miles of the upper Avon. Malcolm is happy to let club members fish his stretch of river and give them a £10 discount off the normal price of £35. This is such an “intimate” stretch of river, it is best for club members sort out their own dates to go to fish for grayling. To view the Manningford website click here. Unfortunately, the fishery will only be open for grayling until the end of February, so you had better get there soon.

FEBRUARY (Date to be arranged) - Members 'Grayling Trip' to the Hampshire Avon.
The club has secured a link/deal with Malcolm Hunt, who runs Manningford Fisheries in Wiltshire. Attached to his lakes, he has rights to about 2.5 miles of the upper Avon. Malcolm is happy to let club members fish his stretch of river and give them a £5 discount off the normal price of £30. The club has decided that as this is such an “intimate” stretch of river, it is best to let club members sort out their own dates to go up to fish for grayling. To view website click here. Unfortunately, the fishery will only be open for grayling until the end of February, so you had better get there soon.
