Hi all

My husband wants to go fishing for barbel somewhere on the River Severn near Shropshire and wondered if anyone knows of any camps sites which are in the area where he can stay.

If anyone also knows of any better areas for barbel fishing he would be grateful for that too.

Thankyou

Love Kay

Hi Kay

You can fish on the River Severn at Grimley, Worcs, the normal river or the Bevere Lock is half a mile up stream and worth the walk - excellent barbel fishing!!

You can camp at the Camp House Inn in Grimley itself.  Haven't got the number but you should be able to find it easily.  Haven't been for a number of years but a beautiful, quiet spot.

Hi Sandra

Thanks for that - he's got all excited now. I don't know why cos they never catch a thing !!!!!!!!

He is going to look it up on the net later

Thanks

Fished this year for Barbel on the River Ouse at Linton on Ouse 9 miles from York...Basic campsite right on the banks of the river...Jamie(my son) caught his 1st ever Barbel.. 5lbs.... Like the Severn the Ouse is best fished with some colour in it... we got ours on feeders...with cheese on the hook...casters over hemp also worked well.........
