Matt, went to Manor Farm last year for a day but it was quite dead. The weather turned a bit but there were two locals fishing the top two pegs in the faster water and these looked like to best pegs. What's the rest of it like if a good angler (unlike me) gets on it? How pressured are the barbel and chub? Fished the Stour and find these fish know all about pressure so a lot of people catch in daylight on small baits etc. Frightens me a bit that does on weedy rivers but the Warks Avon doesn't look too bad.
