Bristol River Avon - Chippenham
Key Information
Fishing Areas
The Bristol River Avon at Chippenham offers anglers a diverse fishing experience across seven distinct sections. Established in 1894, the Chippenham Angling Club oversees approximately six miles of the river, ensuring a variety of depths, widths, and flows. The fast-flowing shallow gravel glides near Kellaways and Peckingell are perfect for targeting chub and roach, and they also provide some of the best barbel fishing on the Upper Avon.
Membership and Access
Club memberships are offered, allowing anglers to enjoy the river's extensive fishing opportunities. The Chippenham Angling Club has also made provisions for disabled access and facilities, making fishing more comfortable and accessible for everyone. Platforms installed by the club in the middle section of the river enhance the fishing experience, offering a safe and convenient spot with minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
