All right Pete

Wondered where you have been:) to be honest as Neil (the other one that supports Championship Birmingham City:() said Upton would be a grueller, you might need longer than 3 days:p
But come on down anyway wouldn't be a bad idea, might even be able to help point you in the right direction
 
What is a "Beard"? I've checked my fish identification books and the only reference to beard I can find is a bearded rocking. You won't find many of those at Upton though I have seen a flatty which was caught just upstream.
 
I remember telling readers on the Peace & Love old BFW that I had had a 33-inch beard and duly posted a link to a pic. Here is a guy who went even better. B'stard!

I seem to remember a huge Barbel for the river (15+) being reported to the AT at the back end of last season from near the Marina, the same guy reported a bream in the low teens from the same spot.
 
Peter,
I think you would get a much better response if you didn't refer to "beards" on this site?
What does everybody else think or is it just me?

Regards,
Jeff

There are some monster Barbel down there, i think its where Howard Maddocks caught the then British & Severn record from..Loads of Bream and very big Carp down there..The problem is it could take you an entire season to locate the Barbel as there are not many down there but what is down there could well be the Barbel of a lifetime..

Is a 'Bearded rocking' a member of ZZ Top? If so, I doubt you will find ANY at Upton...............:D

Sorry Neil :p

Cheers, Dave.
 
LOL, Inside knowledge I'm afraid Dave, I might live in Shropshire but I'm a member of a nice little syndicate just upstream from Upton.;)
