| Dunmill is a stunning part of the Kennet and Avon Canal |
As you are likely to be aware that I do love fishing canals. I have been lucky enough to fish the Kennet and Avon canal for a long time. In recent years Avington has become one of my favourite parts of the K&A. There is some great feature pegs, White Bridge been one of them (never drawn it in almost 10 years of fishing this part of the canal). It is an end peg, as all end pegs are good, but this is an awesome peg as there is a river Kennet comes into the canal which seems to hold these big perch by the bridge and there is skimmers in open water.
Other great areas at Avington is below the sub station has some nice pegs, British Waters have unfortunately cut down some of the trees which did hold some big perch. Above the sub station, in the woods, has some feature pegs, but this tends to be a tougher area. Above the lock holds some great feature pegs and this is the section to be (wasn't pegged for Ron Benjamin, but will be for our Angling Trust Winter League).
It saw 57 anglers fish Ron Benjamin memorial. This is was an open prior to our Oxford Winter League, but we can't see Bloodworm and Joker were banned. Therefore I took plenty of Lob Worms and bread. I also had some squatts, pinkies, casters and some dens.
