It's a fishery I would like to fish one day.

 This is a short (7 mins) video which people here may find interesting. Dr Mark Everard fishing at Britford.

Britford Roach

You'll need Flash player etc. The site is a bit temperamental. One minute it will say "not available" but the next minute it will work fine.

There's an article on Britford in the Nov issue of TCF magazine. It features Dr Mark Everard trotting for a variety of species.

Makes a pleasant change from reading about subjects such as 'heather the leather' (have I got the right magazine , method mixes, back leads and pole winders!!!

I've only fished at Britford a couple of times but I simply love it there. I have to say that I really do miss fishing the Avon since moving away to Surrey four years ago.

I also miss fishing the Test a great deal as I used to live just a 10 minute drive away!

Fortunately, I've just organised two trips to the Test later this month. Those roach had better be feeding!
