Re: Fladbury16th June. if it helps, the Middle Severn hasn't been much better, and that's in far better condition than the Avon at present. Just two chub for me. Posted on June 16, 2017 at 11:15 PM
Re: Severn at danery It's a nice stretch that I know very well. It can be good, can be bad, but in my opinion can be harder than other stretches, but there are good fish there. the first few swims, and the first one in particular, get hammered early season, which I've never understood, as I dont rate it. The main thing the Danery has going for it is the short walk and easy access, which is a big bonus. Platforms and swims are also comfortable. Plenty of others will probably tell you there are better stretches though, everyone has their preferred areas. Posted on June 14, 2017 at 9:28 PM
Re: Cheese paste for the Severn Bridgewater, I use it for chub during wintertime, and it's very effective, especially on the Middle Severn, where there are some huge chub that no-one really fishes for. For the mix itself, there are dozens of different variations, everyone has there own, just google cheesepaste and you'll see. Mine is a mix of puff pastry, danish blue and garlic, but lots of things will work. John Posted on June 14, 2017 at 8:41 AM

Re: Cheese paste for the Severn

Bridgewater,

I use it for chub during wintertime, and it's very effective, especially on the Middle Severn, where there are some huge chub that no-one really fishes for. For the mix itself, there are dozens of different variations, everyone has there own, just google cheesepaste and you'll see.
