Just a note to the fisheries team, a lot of pegs at this venue are limited in respect that trees and bushes are in need of a good cutting back. At the moment, some pegs you cannot cast overhead, others where trees are encroaching from either side making it difficult to fish and strike when fishing a stick float.
We as a club would lend a hand in the close season if Dave Jones wants to give me a call.

Re: Pegs at Stourport Newhalls.
Me too, got my own chain saws, etc.
however most pegs on the Severn are just for use with swim feeders. Float fishing is a dying art.

Re: Pegs at Stourport Newhalls.
Hi Lawrie,
The Fisheries Team gave Newhalls Maedow a good haircut 3 months ago on 3rd August and cut back the overhanging branches as far as we could with our long tree lopping saws. Also as you will see from the pictures I took on that visit and updated Newhalls Meadow 'Where to fish' page with them, that 3 pegs are blocked with large fallen trees. These have been reported to the EA , but as they are not blocking navigation are unlikely to be dealt with.
We visited Newhalls again yesterday (Wednesday 4th November), burned the timer we cut back in August and did further timber cut backs where we could.
We are planning to re-visit on a nice cold crisp day in winter when the river is low to have a go a removing at least one of the fallen trees from the edge of the river (a waders job!) and see what else can be cut back when all the leaves are off and the vegetation has died back.
If any members of Cradley Heath Labour AC have time in the week and want to help out the Fisheries Team not just for Newhalls Meadow but all our fisheries get in touch and come and have some fun.
