EMSTREY,
As from the 16th of June 2010 we are pleased to add to our portfoio of waters the EMSTREY section of the River Severn. It will be possible for any holder of a current SAF season permit and 2010 national rod licence to fish this fine section of river.
The Emstrey section is a productive part of the river known for Barbel in numbers and will nearly always produce when other parts of the river are fishing poorly. However it is also a very long section of River too, approximately 2 1/2 miles of right hand bank and can seem very daunting to first time anglers. Do not worry though as Barbel can be caught all along its length. It is stacked with features, overhanging trees, undercut banks, bends, glides, gullies and deep holes and more. Popular methods are running ledger/feeder with pellet or meat although most baits and methods will produce fish. The float enthusiast should find plenty on offer whether fishing stick or waggler.
The stretch produces some good Chub catches and also has plenty for the Dace and Roach angler, also for the predator angler too. The specimen Perch fisher will find an untapped potential on offer and plenty of perchy holes.
Due to it's nature and limited access points it sees very few people beyond the popular parking areas and is best tackled by travelling light or adopting a roaming approach.
Emstrey carries no particular restrictions other than those already listed in your SAF permit and the following;
You must use an unhooking mat if fishing for Barbel, Chub or Pike
Absoloutley NO FIXED LEAD/FEEDER setups
NO NIGHT FISHING
Barbless, squashed barb or semi-barbed hooks only
No Barbel to be put in keep nets under any circumstance
Minimum mainline of 8lb b/s if fishing for Barbel
All fish to be returned including Eels
Day tickets are available in advance from Total Angling at a cost of £5. Directions and contact information for Total Angling can be found on either the PERMITS or MATCHES pages.
