Upper Severn fishing report July 2020

Aberbechan/Penarth

After a very long shut down its fantastic to see anglers back on our glorious waters on the upper Severn. What a start good catches of chub, dace, grayling being caught by the trotting anglers with plenty of trout being caught on fly. There are salmon showing on all stretches now we have some extra water on the river. Very pleased to tell you we have a local contractor doing some work to the carparks ,river banks, and cutting path ways out from top car park to the woodland area. Its very nice to see lots of new members on this stretch.

Coming to the last week of July water getting very low now still plenty of anglers about fly fishing higher Penarth and lower Aberbechan.

Good news the contracter has now done all the strimming to both carparks new road and pathways to river and upstream towards island all carparks and road have been treated its looking very good clean and tidy and easy access for all our members including less able anglers .

There are plenty of signs on the fishery asking people to take home there litter but George one of our bailiffs collected a bin liner of rubbish from this fishery so please take it home with you .
