Re: River Stour @Stourton Castle
Looks very narrow and shallow in places doubt its been fished much yet. You say you did well Pete did you stay in one peg or roam as it looks more of a roamers river.

Re: River Stour @Stourton Castle
Above the weir it's quite deep, up to 8ft in places, and about 9-10metres wide. I've fished it once, but a while ago, there's some half decent chub there, plus roach.
I've not heard of barbel that far up the river though, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are there.

Re: River Stour @Stourton Castle
Hi,I'm local to the stour living in stourbridge so I've fished this stretch a lot, hate to say otters are on this stretch like a lot of the stour and the roach fishing is not what it used to be,far fewer fish than say 5years ago,best chub swims are below the weir roach,perch & hybrids above,
I have heard reports of barbel on this stretch so who knows?

Re: River Stour @Stourton Castle
Hi All
Ok yes was there last week blanked this time round .
DavidH not too narrow dificult to mokve too far from the cut pegs settp banks banboo giant hogweed Himalayan Balm just a few of the obstacles but did wonder from peg to peg
Above the Weir i found closer to 11ft deep in patches Chub Roach and Perch was my lot and a possible barble in the pool at the base of the Weir but missed it twice .
Will be there again soon .
What does anyone know about Smestow brook close by looks reasonable .
