Anchor Meadow River Avon
Anchor Meadow has been run as a private fishery for more than 20 years and has built a reputation as one of the most productive and varied stretches on the Warwickshire Avon, offering deep slow moving water for carp, tench, bream, roach and perch to shallower fast-running stretches favoured by those after barbel and chub. The stretch is also a renowned pike fishery holding specimens to nearly 30lbs.
The variety of fishing is matched only by the quality. Anchor Meadow has been a favourite with well-known names and ordinary anglers alike, and with carp to 48lbs, Pike to 30lbs, barbel well into double figures, tench to over 7lbs, bream to 9lbs and good sized roach and perch, its easy to see why.
The result is that anglers travel from throughout the UK stay for short angling breaks at Anchor Meadow and with Evesham, Worcester and Stratford on the doorstep there are a host of good pubs, restaurants, shops and tourists attractions within easy driving distance. There are both camping and caravaning facilities on site with toilets and showers. Electric hook-ups are also available for caravans for an addition al £2.00 per night.
It's reputation as a productive fishery has made Anchor Meadow a popular weekend match venue, particularly during the summer when about half the 40 or so pegs are usually taken for contests. Because of this, pleasure anglers wanting to fish on Saturdays or Sundays are advised to telephone in advance to check peg availability. However, the river is usually quiet mid-week so telephoning in advance is not necessary.
Anglers can drive their cars to nearly all the pegs at Anchor Meadow so those heading for the slow deeper pegs along the Meadow stretch should either head across the meadow itself or drive down the lane and turn left just before the bridge. Those going to the Island pegs should drive over the bridge and turn either left or right.
