I spent a lot of time deciding where I would live when I came back from from the USA and Canada.
I finally settled where I live now, in Durrington, right opposite to the Hampshire Avon a short beat away from where Frank Sawyer used to keep the river.
From there I have the best of both worlds, fishing-wise that is.
The river opposite for fly fishing, more fly fishing just 3 minutes away in the car at Avon Springs and for my Coarse fishing then downstream of Salisbury is just 20-odd minutes away.
I can easily reach the Test in about the same driving time and the Itchen is but 50 minutes away too. If I drive in the opposite direction then the Wylyie is available in about 20 minutes.
Ringwwod and District AC and CAC lakes are only about 35 minutes in the car, and the LAA stretch at Britford is the same distance too.
All in all, I'm very happy there, why should I want to be anywhere else?
