ATAA Coarse Waters

The coarse fishing waters include stretches of both the Bristol Avon and the Somerset Frome.​

​

Starting from the village of Limpley Stoke (upstream of the weir pool and the Hop Pole Inn), the River Avon meanders up to the confluence of where the River Frome enters the River Avon at Freshford. The club waters then continue upstream toward Avoncliffe.

​

Fishing on the River Frome begins at the confluence at Freshford, and continues almost unbroken toward and beyond the Iford estate, ending at Farleigh Hungerford.

​

There are such varied stretches of water, that every aspect of fishing styles can be used for you to enjoy your sport. Pretty much all species of fish are present throughout, including many specimens, so whatever your quarry, the hours put in should see your just rewards.

​

The directions to all “Beats” on the waters are shown in the members only virtual map. There are highlighted suggested parking places, access points and boundaries. These can easily be recognised by zooming in, and clicking on the marker “Pins” on the map, where a photograph and What3Word destination point will be displayed. Please remember to wear your membership identification badge, as the majority of the “beats” are on private land. It also helps our bailiff’s. Some waters have their owners coded padlocks on the gates. On joining, you will be given these codes.

​

There are members who would be only too pleased to guide, or to answer any question you may have regarding the fishing.
