BAA Northwood River Severn at Bewdley - VENUE GUIDE & End of Season BARBEL Fishing

[@daz3434]

Great video as always Rob got my parents into watching your videos now they are both 76 and have been members of the BAA for 20+yrs. Dad use to fish it back in the 70's "Barble Alley" was the best stretch were 200-300lb was easily done. Its great to see all the places we go with such beautiful memories and the detail and information you go into from getting there too going back to the van after a day's fishing is the best on any channel. Probably get some numpty saying you have ruined it by reveling where the favourite swims are lol but you are encouraging people to take up our special pass time which is Barbel fishing can only be a good thing. Lovely way to end the season 9lber trust the Mrs to be on the phone lol happens to me all the time be dead for hrs she rings up and bang fish on-Good luck charm I reckon 🍀 TightLines mate cheers for the content and take care bit safer on puddles 😂🎣

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Daz.. I’m never going to please everyone with producing these vids however hopefully more like them than the opposite! Had polite words with the missus about her timing when I got home- Soon got told to wind me neck in 🤣🤣🙈

[@daz3434]

@@RobsAngling Haha sometimes is good not to talk lol 😂

[@paulroberts2625]

Brilliant video again Rob and what a way to finish the season . I must mention your walking pace showing us the swims seems to be a lot faster than my top running speed 🤣

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Paul.. The missus and kids are constantly in my ear about walking too quickly 🤣🤣🙈

[@silentangling]

Very informative and a great way to finish a season of videos and an even better way to close what has been a challenging winters fishing. Look forward to fishing that swim in the summer.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks very much - Look forward to possibly seeing one of your vids from there next season 👍🎣

[@Red_Snappa]

As always, great content and editing Rob. Great idea to show the W3W location and the stretch too, but thought you'd have done some Benny Hill style, sped-up footage between pegs to save your final upload video length...and your lungs 😄 Btw...the mystery fish - Zander! 😉

[@RobsAngling]

I didn’t think of speeding up the footage at the end - An idea for next time. 👍 It’s been a good while since I caught a Zander however that not the one I have in mind 👍🤣

[@markjoyce1720]

Nice one Rob once again some great information not just about the fishing but the parking and all the different pegs etc very well done sir👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Mark.. Hope you’re keeping well. 👍🎣

[@richardmcmahon7718]

Nice end to the season Rob, thanks for all the info 🎣👍

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Richard 👍🎣

[@andrewjackson9603]

Superb video Rob. Really informative. I will certainly give that a go. Didn't realise the BAA.had the stretch by the iconic bridge stanchions. Isn't the Trimpley stretch just up from there? Very.long walk I heard! Well done on that lovely Barbel. The close up shot was excellent, in particular. Got my friend John on to your videos. He agrees with me. Really top-notch. 👌

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Andrew - Trimpley is indeed upstream of there.. It’s been a while since I’ve been to that stretch but I’ll hopefully get a video out on that one in the summer 👍

[@wayneofwolves2807]

Didn’t Stan Lewis run that stretch back in the day ????

[@tonystevenson6548]

Fantastic mate really appreciate the video

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🎣

Nice fish to end the season Rob. Thanks for the info on the stretch which is very helpful. Good luck with the Tench fishing👍.

Cheers Chris - Hopefully the 🌞🌞🌞 turns up soon to wake those Tench up 👍

Great session rob and very informative I’ll be giving this stretch a go next season I really enjoy your videos,and all the information on parking and the venue really helps me.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Graham.. All the best 👍🎣

[@brianreed1451]

lovely video. too long a journey for me from Dorset. Live by the Hampshire Avon and Dorset Stour but sadly not that many Barbel about these days.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Brian - The numbers in the Severn are well down on what I remember a good few years ago but still enough about. 👍🎣

[@BlackCountryPiker]

A lovely watch Rob, cracking last barbel 👌. Did you notice if the large tree was still up against the old bridge supports?

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks mate - I didn’t notice anything significant. There was a large branch up against the inside of the centre support however it didn’t look that large (from memory) 👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@RobsAngling no worries, it might well still be there but covered by the flood

[@andrewcarson3455]

Another good vlog, thank you for sharing, nice to see the pegs car parks and accessibility. Cracking barbel well done .. Would be great if you could do the same on STF waters like monkmoor enjoy the stillwater fishing 😊

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Andrew.. I’ll do a few more STF sections next season. 👍

[@kevbrindle2236]

Great vid as ever Rob....it`ll soon be june

[@neilsmith7547]

Just subscribed to your channel Rob after watching some of your videos. Cracking barbel that one mate. I fished it by the bridge a couple of seasons ago in the summer. Just a couple of chub I'm afraid but I know there's some cracking barbel there. Great video rob 👏

[@RobsAngling]

Cheers Neil - Be interesting to see how it fishes in the warmer weather. Bring on June 👍🎣

[@Azf95]

Came across your channel a few days ago after becoming frustrated fishing my local canals and blanking all the time. Im a lure fisherman so i target perch and pike. Ive decided to try river fishing for the first time and found the severn to be my local, I discovered BAA run a few stretches near me thought id do some research which is how i found you. Your channel is amazing and there is no one as helpful or as positive as you, i really enjoy your videos. The fact you show the parking/entrance and route to the river and show swims is brilliant. Im going to visit Quatford in a few days to check it out while the river seasons closed, any idea how the big perch/pike maybe even chub fishing is there? thanks again.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks! Glad the vids help.. There are decent Perch all along the middle Severn - Just need to rove around and find them. Plenty of cracking chub also - They’ll usually be tucked away under any cover or in slacks/crease lines. Quatford is a great stretch to walk up/down - A good 20-25 pegs to go at there 👌👍

[@mickwatson8210]

Hi Rob, thanks for allyour videos this season. This was my first season on the Severn and your videos have been invaluable especially regarding the access to each venue. Thank you. BTW what is the rid bag you were using. I am looking to upgrade mine.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Mick.. My rod bag is very old.. It must be 8-10 years since I’ve had it and pretty knackered now. I’m likely going to pick a new one up soon 👍

[@harryturner3063]

Hi Rob, well done on the end of season cracking barbel! I’m a BAA member and I have the 2023 BAA Guide to Waters and I cannot equate their map of the Northwood section with your walk along the stretch. The map seems to show the car park right next to the river further up Northwood Lane?

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Harry, hope you’re well. Can you send me a message on Facebook with a picture of the map. I’ll then help to describe back where I walked in relation to what you’re looking at 👍

[@Micks.barbelfishing.adventures]

Fantastic little session, Rob. One of my favourite places by Dowles Bridge, was my friends still there? john n Clive the two alpacas? 👍🎣🎣👍👍

[@RobsAngling]

Yes mate - They’re still knocking about. Characters that pair are.. 🤣👍

[@Micks.barbelfishing.adventures]

@@RobsAngling brilliant.🖐

[@Azf95]

HI @RobsAngling so after watching all your vidoes I went and had a walk along Apley and Quatford stretches as ive never been to a river before but interested to start when the season opens. Apley only seemed to have 4ish safe fishable swims from what i could see, I parked by the farmers gate and went left of the entrance down towards the private property at the end, did i miss some other part of this stretch? and Quatford had about 14ish accessible safe swims from Tonys diner through both meadows, at the end i came to pebble path with some sort of barn at the top on the left and didnt go any further as it looked private, is that the end of the BAA water do you know?. Do the BAA ever come out and fix swims make them safe and trim/remove bushes/dead trees/debris? Thank you.

[@RobsAngling]

Hi, there is a second meadow at Apley to the right hand side of where you walked.. There are more fishable swims in that direction. At Quatford, you’ve walked to the end of the stretch there. More swims are accessible when the banks are drier in the summer and you can wade out in the shallower sections also. BAA do some maintenance work on their stretches periodically but it’s not extensive or regular. Good luck when the season reopens. 👍🎣

[@kennypartridge1853]

Great way to end the season on Rob. Craking Barbel too. So, is your never caught coarse species an Ide?? 🤔 Look forward o the closed season uploads mate.

[@RobsAngling]

Cheers Kenny.. A few still waters to get around.. Need some 🌞🌞🌞 now 🎣👍

[@kennypartridge1853]

@RobsAngling too right mate. I've had enough of the cold now 😁

rob when you mention fluoro hooklength what is it you use ?what make i mean

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Alan, sorry for the delay. I’ve been using Korda IQ2 for a good while now - It’s decent quality 👍🎣

[@stuartatling7541]

Can I ask what the rod bag is please Rob?

[@GavinCosta2024]

Im always scared to fish 2 rods incase I get a double take while im trying to reel one barbel in. How do you cope in this situation ? Ive literally just joined baa how is the gate locked ? Key or pin ? I havent got either yet

[@John-k6b7y]

Hi , what’s the name off the Rod bag your using ? Thanks

[@RobsAngling]

It’s an old rod bag - Circa 8-9 years old. I might change it soon as it’s pretty worn out now. It’s long gone out of production.

[@John-k6b7y]

👍

[@stuartatling7541]

ThanksRob. Love watching the videos, will have to keep looking for a 2 rod roving bag.

[@Accyboom]

Any reason why youve moved onto 2.25lb tc rods rather than your usual 1.75lb all year/all conditions ones?

[@RobsAngling]

I’ve got those 2.25tc rods to use on the Trent next season - I’ve got a couple of club tickets for a few Trent vids next season so I’ve done a couple of sessions to try them out before the end of this season. I’ll be back to using my 1.75tc rods on the Severn next season 👍🎣

[@Accyboom]

@RobsAngling how are you finding them? I bought a 2.25lb tc barbel rod a few seasons back. Was great at casting the heavy weights but the fight with a barbel was awful. The rod was too powerful to enjoy it. Should be great for the trent though. Nice work with the videos this season. Look forward to watching them next season.

[@karbinomar4938]

Can you send the location if this place Nate I would like to go and try it out

Details are in the video or on the BAA website. 👍
