As a keen salmon angler this one is close to my heart but does cause some frustrations as spey casting really needs lots of space and the freedom to walk downstream a few paces after each cast and there are few places on BAA rivers where you can do that without annoying barbel/silver anglers. I do fish for barbel as well btw. So I guess it depends if you just need to practice and don't really expect to catch, in which case you can stay in one spot. To be honest you have very low chances of a salmon on any BAA rivers unless you know the best spots and most of them don't have the space for a spey cast - upper Severn is probably your best chance but I have only ever managed a switch rod there - even then it is very tight. I fish Holt Fleet regularly and have often thought I could try there with a spey rod but in reality you will not often either have the right depth, suitable flow or the space there. Of course it is close season for salmon now on the Severn anyway - 17th on the Wye, so maybe fish a fly/bit of fluff without a hook if you don't want to get in trouble with the EA.
