River Avon – Salford Priors

Salford Priors is the Association’s right-bank fishery below the River Arrow’s meeting with the Warwickshire Avon. The official description gives roughly three quarters of a mile of fishing and includes a short, 150-yard section of the Arrow. This makes the confluence a useful identifying feature, but permission remains limited to the marked BAA banks rather than extending automatically around the junction or onto the opposite shore. Chub, roach, perch, barbel and gudgeon are specifically recorded by the club, with tench and bream described as occasional catches. The venue is also identified as suitable for contests, so members should check current booked-water notices before choosing a date. Access follows the caravan-park approach and service road to the BAA car park at the end of the track. The club’s warning about deep ruts and potentially impassable conditions deserves particular attention; a valid fishing permit does not make the vehicle route suitable in poor weather. Annual BAA membership and the appropriate rod licence are necessary. Stay within the published right-bank rights, and do not fish at night.
