The River Avon, also known as the River Aune, is a river in the county of Devon in the south of England. It rises in the southern half of Dartmoor National Park in an area of bog to the west of Ryder's Hill. Close to where the river leaves Dartmoor a dam was built in 1957 to form the Avon reservoir After leaving the moor it passes through South Brent and then Avonwick and Aveton Gifford and flows into the sea at Bigbury on Sea. A few large early Sea Trout are caught but the reliable runs start in May and continue till September. Salmon also run the Avon and,although, the river remains open into November and offers a truely different small river salmon fishing experience.
