Coombe Mill – River Avon

Plan a session

Coombe Mill gives you a cracking, all-wild and unstocked beat on the upper Hampshire Avon in Wiltshire, around Coombe and Enford, upstream of Netheravon. It’s proper stalking water, with main river, a carrier and pools spread over roughly 1,519 yards.

We don't publish an "ideal level" — nobody can promise one. Flood water is dangerous: if it's up and coloured, stay well back from the edge. Open Upavon East on Live River Levels

The lowdown

  • This is a fishable beat controlled by Coombe Mill Fishing, with bookings sold through Fishing Breaks — the estate’s stated booking channel.
  • The water takes between one and three rods, so it’s a small-scale setup rather than a busy day-ticket free-for-all. Much nicer for keeping things calm.
  • You get a mix of main river, a carrier and pools. That gives the stretch a bit of variety, whether you’re covering moving water or picking your way through quieter spots.
  • It’s described as stalking water, so expect a mobile day. Have a good look, keep moving and make the most of the features in front of you.
  • Good hatches are part of the appeal, with a notable Mayfly period specifically mentioned. That’s the sort of window fly anglers will have circled in the diary.
  • Brown trout are the principal named species. The beat is all-wild and unstocked, which is a big part of its character.
  • Wading is optional according to the booking information. Handy if conditions, confidence or the swim make staying on the bank the better call.
  • The trout season runs from 15 April to 15 October. Grayling fishing is available from 16 October to 31 December, giving the beat a later-season run too.
  • A full-time river keeper, Martin Aris, is named for the fishery. Kingfisher Lodge also offers accommodation with exclusive use of the Coombe Mill fishing.
  • The water is associated with the Frank Sawyer section of the upper Hampshire Avon. The nearest Geograph river image is at Enford, looking downstream from the road bridge.

Methods: This is stalking water with good hatches and a Mayfly period, so a mobile fly approach suits the wild brown trout. Wading is optional, letting you fish from the bank when that’s the sensible move.
