It is most definitely an unfair label, though one that Wiltshire locals do little to get rid of. Their attitude is that ‘We know how good our rivers are so why should we care?’ Undoubtedly, the River Avon and its association with Frank Sawyer, is the river that dominates the county but the Ebble, Nadder and Wylye are all tributaries and fascinating rivers in their own right. For visitors from around the globe the county of Wiltshire has plenty
of attractions. Stonehenge looms up on the chalk downs and the spire of
the great Salisbury Cathedral dominates the Avon valley. There are a host
of unspoilt pubs, villages and walks across Salisbury Plain. Our rivers
Your fishing guide - Marcus McCorkell
'Having been bought up in Dorset, the Avon and it’s tributaries were an eye opening discovery. The bigger rivers, larger fish and faster flows made me change my tactics. Less of the commando-style stalking on wild streams to more of the leisurely spotting of feeding fish, selecting the right fly and laying a perfect line across the water.’ If you want to pick Marcus’ brain, e-mail him direct at marcus@fishingbreaks.co.uk All diary and booking enquiries should be made direct to Fishing Breaks. NB Marcus is out on the rivers each and all day during the height of the season, so sometimes he doesn’t get to check his e-mails as often as he would like.
