🎣 Barbel fishing on the River Severn and it comes good in the end
After yesterday’s failed mission to tempt a Teme barbel, I continued with the species this evening, but on a different river. The Severn.
It’s much closer to home – about half the distance – and less fiddly, as once past Stourport-on-Severn, it’s a series of mostly B roads and turn left here, second right there and so on.
It’s been so long since I fished that particular stretch, for both Teme visits I’ve made this month, I’ve relied on satnav once I’ve passed over the Severn at the aforementioned town.
It wasn’t needed on today’s session though. Load the car, set off, listen to some Motown on the way and, in no time at all, I’ve left Staffordshire behind, entered Shropshire and I’m fishing.
That’s where the video picks up, on the river bank. I banked a barbel and a chub, while I also lost one of the former.
A little egret landed on the far bank and spent some time feeding at the water’s edge, much to the annoyance of a small group of mallards who were chilling out. If didn’t bother the small white heron though, it just carried on doing its thing.
