Avington – A Trout Fisher’s Paradise

Avington Trout Fishery in Hampshire, UK, is renowned amongst fly anglers as the home of giant trout. Situated near the world-famous chalk stream, the River Itchen, the fishery was founded in the 1960s by former NASA scientist, Sam Holland, who had a unique vision to create a fishery full of large trout. The three lakes and carrier stream he built benefit from being chalk stream fed, and the water clarity in the lakes is therefore incredible. Fishing there successfully requires a stealthy approach, seeking out and stalking the leviathan trout that reside there. Nearly 50 years old, the fishery is a mature and beautiful haven for wildlife and a special place to spend a day fishing. Over the years, Avington has been fished by thousands of anglers and has been THE venue for fly anglers to try and potentially catch a UK record trout. Four years in the making, this amazing film charts the story of Avington Trout Fishery and shows off Avington in all its glory. Stunning underwater photography, some fantastic fishing action and of course some very big fish make this a must watch! To watch just login or register
