Good Vid Rob. My first year on the Severn and learning a lot from your vids. I will approach with a certain amount of confidence.👍🇬🇧

Bad luck on the Barbel front Rob. Atleast old rubber lips didn't let you down! Down here it's generally Well into July before the Barbel (what few there are now) show up. Hope it's not a bad omen, I'm up tomorrow til Friday ( the joys of retirement eh!). Could do without the aches and pains though! 👍

[@RobsAngling]

Good luck Andrew - Changeable conditions this week so could be a good few bites about to be had. Hope you get a few 👍🎣

[@zandermaster3873]

Its been tough fishing for barbel at the moment.... everyone I have spoken to on the bank have been struggling

[@RobsAngling]

Hopefully this rain should help it out a bit now 🤞🎣

@@RobsAngling fingers crossed mate....love a barbel bite

[@paulcole4902]

Me and my mate once had a day that didn't go to plan on 16th of June in 90's he decided for us to go to Arley got there for 4 am and all the pegs we wanted to fish had been taken,so we went to Bewdley and the same happened again,so we went to bridge north same happend there to,so we ended up going to Ironbridge like i suggested in the first place, can't remember exactly what time we started fishing and caught loads of chub and barbel between us,and then I nearly had disastrous day the next day fishing Whittington canal to try out my brand new pole that wasn't cheap,and i was chatting to another fisherman next to me on my right hand side when he suddenly shouted watch out, because from my left came two swan's ready to land on the water right inline with my pole lucky I moved it quickly enough,so yes we're all have our ups downs when it comes to fishing 👍

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Paul - Sounds like the up and downs of what can happen on the banks. Good news that you caught a few in Ironbridge though - Well done 👍🎣

[@ashleypickering34]

Hi rob do you know any day ticket stretches of the severn with easy access, im taking my dad who has a dodgy hip cant walk to far. I watched your video on sydney avenue i was just wondering of any others thankyou.

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Ashley, there aren’t any that are any easier to access than Sydney Avenue that I’m aware of.. The BAA have some options (Ribblesford, Ladyham, Arley) and some private stretches exist also around the middle Severn 👍

A very low and clear river Rob not easy

Thanks Tony - Some rain about now so conditions changing again 🌧️🎣

What net handle is that ?

@@RobsAngling thank you rob ,keep up the videos mate really enjoy them ,nearly brought this pole ,looks very bendy in your videos so opted for the drenam one

[@biggins1]

Frustrating when you get to Sydney Ave at the crack of dawn and there are already people there set up and fishing. Almost like they’ve night fished it🤔

[@RobsAngling]

Agreed - But hopefully not the case and rules are being respected by all 👍

[@biggins1]

@@RobsAngling maybe not “night fished” as such. But clearly gotten there a good few hours before dawn. I’ve been there before at the crack of dawn and walked the bank with my tackle, just about to walk down to a peg and someone has run up behind me with a bucket and announced “I’m fishing here”. Was still low light - thought I was about to be mugged. And then the rudeness to kick me out of a peg that i was walking down to. Not a fan of that stretch any more - far nicer stretches to fish

Have a look at barbel days and ways with John Roberts it shows you what happens to pva in a river it might surprise you
