Severn Kinlet 21st Sept First dip back in the river at Coomby's farm (Stanley Water) for a few weeks, managed a 3.5-hour evening session. The river was quiet, no other anglers, a bit of pace but not much colour or extra water. The sun was out so I had an hour session on caster on the stick which brought 5 lbs of 1-3 oz chub, small dace and perch. A lot of small chub around, bodes well for the future. First hour on the halibut pellet - bomb rig was very odd - a bite every cast, but no fish - until one 8 oz chub hooked itself. As I said, a lot of small chub in the river right now. Then the barbel moved in for the last hour, with fish of 2.8, 3.0 and 3.5 kgs, topped by a 4.2 kgs (9 lbs 4 oz) fish just before dark - 4 barbel for 13.5 kgs, 29 lbs 12 oz. Total just over 35 lbs, very happy with that! Posted on September 22, 2015 at 10:15 AM
Severn Stoke 22nd August Three of us gave field 5 at Severn Stoke a try last Saturday for river bream Wild weather!! Storm, thunder, lightning flying branches, the lot! Managed to get packed up just before getting wet. We had about 25 lbs of skimmers between us, only one bream about 3 lbs. Too bright and hot really, had to fine right down to red maggot on an 18 to keep bites coming. I also managed a 4 lb pike on dead bait. Must be the smallest pike on the section! Highlight of the day was a 10-5 barbel.... Caught by someone else fishing between two of us. Great fish, well done. Ah well, better luck next time for us. Also good to see BAA bailiffs cracking down on poaching, well done lads. Cheers all, Pete Posted on August 28, 2015 at 8:59 PM
Re: WICK! Hi David, the river is packed with small fish this year, sounds like you and your dad had an enjoyable day - you can't beat getting bites every time you put in, great fun! Did you have any trouble from pike? Cheers Pete Posted on August 28, 2015 at 8:48 PM
Re: Eardington Brook Well done Chrispy!! weather must have been a challenge! Which peg did you fish? Best wishes Pete Posted on August 28, 2015 at 8:43 PM
Re: Severn Kinlet, 7th August Its only about 30 yards from the car park down a sloping field to the river. Unfortunately you can't drive down the field to the river bank. There are 4 or 5 good pegs at the bottom of the field between the trees. It shallows up from about 5 ft at the nearest pegs to rapids downstream just below the footbridge where the stream comes in. Depending on the conditions, barbel and chub can be found in any of these pegs, usually down the middle on the lead or feeder on 8mm halibut pellet. It's typical river severn pegs, some are sandy beaches but some are quite steep, but most have had a few steps cut into the bank. Hope this helps, good luck! Posted on August 25, 2015 at 4:42 PM
