On Saturday afternoon I had a casual walk down Newhalls Meadow below Stourport to see how the swims were looking as river levels approached something that might be fishable.

Re: Newhalls Meadow - a sorry taleHi, thanks for posting this up as I'm considering driving up from Malvern to have a go at this part of the Severn with the stick. I've never fished that far up the river before so it's not familiar. Seems a shame that so many pegs won't be fishable.

Re: Newhalls Meadow - a sorry taleI was down there a couple of weeks back and counted at least 7 pegs that would be unfishable on the stick float.I put it all in my bailiff report and I know other bailiffs and members have raised the issue so hopefully the fisheries team will get down there soon and tidy it up as these are some of the best winter roach pegs on the Severn

Re: Newhalls Meadow - a sorry taleI walked the bank about a month ago and can confirm a lot of the swims are unfishable. I think this venue has gone to pot now the swimming baths/leisure centre has closed. No parking available nearby except the pub.

Re: Newhalls Meadow - a sorry taleNewhalls Meadow - Is still a sorry tale its a discrace how this beautiful stretch of water has been neglected. The stretch needs some serious work to remove fallen branches and is beyond just pushing the weeds to one side with a fishing rod. Come on BAA get the chain saws out and the members will do the rest to maintain the pegs as I often do. I understand you do rely on a team of volunteers and there is no current date on your fisheries plan. I have to wonder if the same situation happened at one of your pools you would leave it so long to put right.

Re: Newhalls Meadow - a sorry taleWell done to the team, great to see a large proportion of the pegs now open some serious tree cutting has taken place.
