I'd be surprised, but who knows? Not nearly as much bait goes in up there as the middle and Lower reaches of the river, so any double figure fish up there is quite something, and I take my hat off to anyone that captures one. It's really only recently that 15's are more common on the Lower, and that's only on certain stretches where bait gets piled in causing certain fish to balloon each season. The Severn is also a cold river, certainly more so in its upper reaches. That all said, less fish/bigger fish seems to be the way most rivers are going, so time will tell.
