Does anyone know if the BAA still holds rights to the river section ?

Re: Simon de Montfort bridge
Sorry to say Jim
But I believe that the Montford Bridge stretch was lost in the late 70’s early 80’s
We have the Pool Quay- Maesydd - Rhyddesgyn stretch then a gap until Underdale
The BAA GUIDE to Waters page 33 - 34

Re: Simon de Montfort bridge
Simon de Montford bridge spans the Warwickshire Avon Reg, not the Severn. It's just downstream of the old 'Georges Field' section at Twyford, the BAA called it Parks Farm I think, and let it go a couple of seasons ago.

Re: Simon de Montfort bridge
Spot on John ..nothing to add here other than it was no great loss...parking was a nightmare down the side of that bridge in single file ,nose to tail ,,,,it was only any good to small club matches who were arriving and leaving together.....

Re: Simon de Montfort bridge
Hi Jim, John and Bin,
It must be an age thing as my memory had me confused.
there was a Montford Bridge section on the Upper Severn as shown in the attached from an old BAA Guide in my possession.
Reading back through this old BAA Guide makes me wish that we still retained these waters, now this is an age thing!

Re: Simon de Montfort bridge
Blimey Reg!! That's an old BAA guide, I'd say from the late 70's. I remember my dad fishing Berrington and Cound Lodge, they had a few stretches up that way back then, Crew Green, Alberbury etc. Happy days.

Re: Simon de Montfort bridge
Bicton and Montford Bridge are now run by Lymm Anglers, I think. I know a few Shrewsbury lads that fish those stretches.
