The water quality? I personally think it's a combination of those and a couple of other factors, they're simply immaculate creatures and wanted to get amongst them for years but not driving until only 3-4 years ago I weren't able to tackle the river as transport links are poor expect the bottom couple of miles. Alas I'm making up for lost time now. I suspect there are 6's in the Avon too Mick, just so much water to tackle it's a numbers game as to whether you catch one or not !James Denison Anglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713988521860790219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208553062175205485.post-88667079607522112412016-07-18T09:31:49.504+01:002016-07-18T09:31:49.504+01:00Indeed you're right, one on my doorstep would ...Indeed you're right, one on my doorstep would be nice.
