The Upper Avon Angling Association is another one of the small associations who work tirelessly to improve the river and surrounding habitat. The association has several brown trout leases in the upper reaches of the River Avon in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Like us the guys are all volunteers and give up most of their spare time to help make the association a success. We also know what it is like when starting out initially, many will view them with suspicion the truth is the upper Avon was sadly neglected in the past but it has now received attention. The main players are William Weir, J C Tait, John McSkimming who have spent a few years running their hatchery facility at their own expense, but the other members on board are also dedicated to the task.
We wish them well for the future and if they require any assistance then we will be there to help them. We look forward to the new season and hope to come over for a couple of days fishing on this excellent stretch of water controlled by the lads. To see what this great bunch are up to, visit their web page on http://upperavonangling.googlepages.com/
P.S. They have some of the cheapest brown trout/grayling fishing in the country with adult permits being £6.00p and children under 12 being allowed to fish for free.
