Approaches
Trimpley: The car park at the end of Northwood Lane is now permanently closed. Do not park in front of gates or obstruct the entrance to any adjoining property. Access to this fishery is now via the public footpath through Eymore Wood at the end of Eymore Lane using the public car park in Eymoor Wood.
Northwood: Turn into Northwood Lane from the B4190. Travel along the Lane for about 1 mile turn immediately left after going through the tunnel under the disused railway embankment into the BAA car park (lock fitted to gate - code: See BAA Membership Card). To access the river walk along the edge of the field along the bottom of the embankment. You will arrive at the river where the disused railway bridge crosses. The fishery is one meadow upstream of the bridge and one downstream ending at the EA measuring station. Do not walk across the fields.
NO FISHING AT NIGHT.

Middle Severn session.
9lb 3oz, waggler caught barbel, best of 39 caught over 6 days fishing the Trimpley and Arley stretches of the middle Severn. Most fish during the week, including chub over 4lb, a 1lb 10oz trout, and several pound-plus perch, taken on float-fished caster – by far the best way to catch barbel and chub! Mick Hanley

More Trimpley success
This 8lb 14oz fish was the best of a 20 barbel, 90lb-plus haul in a six hour session at Trimpley. All fish came to waggler-fished casters, and given the recent Forum comments about hook damage to fish, it’s worth noting that all fish were taken on size 16 barbless hooks, minimising likely injury without actually compromising hooked-to-landed ratio.

Mum's barbel
I am sending a photo of my mum Barbara Chapman's barbel she caught at Trimpley, it weighed 9lb 6.5oz which is her PB. It will be good surprise for her to see the photo on the BAA website as she looks at it every day for the catches and the forums as we have 4 trips a year to come and fish BAA stretches. Kind Regard Darren Chapman
