Salmon 

The Hampshire Avon is a truly mixed fishery, its fertile waters home to good numbers of specimen coarse species such as roach, chub and barbel along with chalkstream brown trout and some truly monster salmon. The best of the trout fishing can be found in the upper reaches, where wild browns lie between waving fronds of ranunculus.
