Solihull

[Stephen Crowhurst]

Long story with few details but I’m going to find myself on the last day of the season in Solihull scratching around while I wait for purpose of my visit overnight, work related.

It’s been a while but I’m thinking that there may be a solid Barbel opportunity as I’m not a million miles from the Severn or the W.Avon. Having never fished either I’m looking for a point in the right direction of what would be a good use of that opportunity. My commitment is in a place called Shirley.

Stephen, you are about 30 miles from the middle Severn, look up Knivers Freeliners club, they do day tickets

 

[John Care]

You're even closer to the WA Stephen, Stratford, Bidford, Evesham etc. Not sure about day ticket opportunities on there really, but Manor Farm on a DT isn't that far away. Not sure how busy that may or may not be on the final day of the season though.

As Cliff has said, Hampton Loade Kinver Freeliners. There are decent numbers of Barbel along there including fish into double figures. I should imagine ( though I don't know for sure) that the Warks Avon would be a more difficult proposition with fewer Barbel. The Severn is perhaps a safer bet and is where I go when up from Dorset.
