The BAA Severn stretch at Deerhurst ( Odda's Chapel ) is totally overgrown and impossible to fish.
I walked the stretch a couple of years ago. What you might catch there is any body's guess ? Bream,Roach and even maybe the odd barbel .

In reply to your previous post Johnny
Here is a quote from the Angling Trust Johnny. There words and not mine.
But as is sadly the case in the general population there is a small proportion of the angling community who have taken advantage of the platform provided by social media to display staggering levels of stupidity and ignorance. Last year is now confirmed as the deadliest in England and Wales since the height of the flu pandemic in 1918. More than 608,000 deaths were recorded,
attributable to coronavirus, according to new figures released by the Office
forNational Statistics.
Just out of curiosity Johnny which one of these is you ? Displaying staggering levels of stupidity or you just ignorant . Or maybe both ? Its a sad fact of life there are people out there who think they can do what ever they like with out giving a second thought to what the consequences of there actions may turn out to be .
Bearing in mind that had the Angling trust had not approached the government in the first place to allow us all to go fishing . Then we would all be stuck at home and not being able to go fishing.
Johnny do I really care what you are any body else may say about me. The short answer to that is NO

Here is what the The Angling trust have to say about being able to go fishing ?
Let’s start with what should be blindingly obvious – Covid is all too real and has caused an unprecedented and deadly global pandemic. We have said throughout that angling must be part of the solution and not a cause of problems or concern.
But as is sadly the case in the general population there is a small proportion of the angling community who have taken advantage of the platform provided by social media to display staggering levels of stupidity and ignorance. Last year is now confirmed as the deadliest in England and Wales since the height of the flu pandemic in 1918. More than 608,000 deaths were recorded, with 81,653
attributable to coronavirus, according to new figures released by the Office
forNational Statistics.
These grim numbers, coupled with sacrifices being made by our wonderful NHS staff, make the rantings the conspiracy theorists, coronavirus deniers and anti- vaxxers particularly hard to stomach. If smashing up 5G masts, or sending death threats to Bill Gates is your thing please don’t do it on anything associated with angling and preferably try and get some help!
Of equal concern are those anglers who bring our sport into disrepute by posting pictures of themselves on Facebook blatantly flouting the rules or inciting mass disobedience. I hope every angling club is taking note of the worst offenders and that a number of club memberships won’t be reissued next year. As one of our members wryly commented the other day – “It’s great that we now have a vaccine for Covid but a shame there isn’t one for ‘stupid!”
Some of the madder conspiracy theorists out there have even gone as far to suggest that far from working night and day to make the case for a limited form of socially distanced fishing to continue under lockdown, the Angling Trust simply invented the whole thing. Well, let’s deal with that piece of nonsense first.
The new Covid variant saw infections skyrocketing over the Xmas period and early in the New Year the Cabinet met to consider a Third National Lockdown. At this point, just as in previous crunch points last year, the Angling Trust team considered when and how we should engage with ministers. We wrote to Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden – with copies to supportive MPs – ahead of the Prime Minister’s announcement on January 4th. We also placed articles in the national media highlighting our position. As previously we pressed the case for angling and pointed out the following reasons for allowing us to continue in some form:
Angling is a largely solitary sport where social distancing occurs naturally.
Proven benefits for mental health and physical well-being
Angling appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds and engages able-bodied and disabled participants alike.
[b]The majority of the population live within 5 miles of a waterway minimising the need for significant travel.
Evidence that non-contact outdoor activities will not increase infection rates.
A reduction in pressure on other public open spaces[/b].
