Hi Dale, well done for trying to make things happen. You show admirable initiative and a desire to improve the waters you are responsible for.
I can understand the attitude of those who already fish Underdale and view it almost as their own private water but at the end of the day it is a BAA water and all members have a right to fish it.
Keep up the good work Dale.

CarCam, If you think the Severn is bad you should try the Teme. That goes up and down like a fiddlers elbow.
One river I fished down south was even worse, It could be normal level in the morning, over the bank and in the field by tea time and back to normal the next day. I've checked it's level before setting off and by the time I got to the river an hour later it was 3 foot up.
It keeps you on your toes.

Well done with the barbel, nice fish for a Severn novice.
The Severn isn't tidal at Severn Stoke, from memory it is only tidal up to Tewksbury but it's a long time since I fished that far down. I'm sure someone will confirm or refute what I think.
The river is greatly influenced by rain on the Welsh hills. It runs off them quite quickly and then works it's way down river over 2 to 3 days. It's about 2 days at Bewdley maybe more like 3 at SS.
There are apps that let you track the river levels at various monitoring stations along the river.
Here at Bewdley the river went to from about .7m to 1.5m in a day and is now about .9m (all figures approx.). It's raining in Wales tonight so expect the river to rise over the next few days.
I don't know what happens at SS but round here we pray for extra water on the river, it makes it easier to catch the barbel.

Marks was a great shop, hopefully it still is. I've not been in for a few weeks so I can't say for certain.
He did me a good deal on a couple of Greys feeder rods last season, £60 each, should have been about £100 as far as I can tell. Nice bloke as well, very knowledgeable about the Severn and always willing to help.
Bewdley Tackle know their stuff but don't carry a wide range of stuff.
There's also Mal Storeys old shop in Kidderminster, I think it's now HT tackle or something. Mal's no longer there but they carry a fantastic range of stuff.
If there's anything specific you want to know you could try asking on here, someone might be able to help.
