Severals, River Avon (Hampshire), Dorset–Hampshire boundary

Severals gives Ringwood & District Anglers Association anglers two miles of the Hampshire Avon along the Dorset–Hampshire boundary. It’s a members-and-guests stretch, with barbel, chub and plenty more on the fish list — but no public day tickets currently.

Run by Ringwood & District Anglers Association · checked 5 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • First up, make sure you’ve got the right stretch. Severals is listed separately from Lower Severals & Avon Castle, so don’t treat those names as interchangeable when sorting your trip.
  • The advertised fishery length is two miles. The official map shows a winding main channel and Kings Stream, giving you useful bearings when planning where to head with the tackle.
  • Barbel and chub are named here, alongside dace and roach. That gives you a cracking choice of targets: a barbel-focused session or a lighter approach for the smaller river fish.
  • Grayling, pike, perch and eels are also listed. Bream, carp and tench are described as occasional, so keep that distinction in mind rather than treating them as the main attraction.
  • For a starting approach, think trotting for the named silver fish or feeder fishing for chub and barbel. Those are suggestions to suit the fish list, not promises about particular swims or depths.
  • Timing matters here. Coarse fishing runs from 16 June to 14 March, and there’s no access to the water during the close season. Normal fishing starts one hour before sunrise.
  • Fancy a cheeky evening session? Normal fishing finishes two hours after sunset. The annual night permit extends the permitted hours, but it still has seasonal finishing times — it isn’t an all-night ticket.
  • Sort the access bits before loading up. You need a club key, plus a parking permit for the top car park. Stick to riverbanks or public footpaths, and give the overhead electricity cables a proper wide berth.

Methods: Trotting for dace and roach, or a feeder approach for chub and barbel, are sensible options to consider. Spinning, artificial lures and fly fishing are only permitted from 1 September to 16 January; salmon anglers have priority.

Key rules

  • Coarse fishing season: 16 June to 14 March. Access to the water is prohibited during the close season.
  • Normal hours run from one hour before sunrise to two hours after sunset. Night-permit holders must finish at 11:30pm from 16 June to 31 October, or 10pm from 1 November to 14 March.
  • Spinning, artificial lures and fly fishing are permitted only from 1 September to 16 January.
  • Salmon anglers have priority.
  • A club key is needed; the top car park requires a parking permit and is for non-commercial vehicles only.
  • Follow riverbanks or public footpaths — do not cross fields.
  • Litter in your swim can result in disciplinary action.
  • Electricity pylons cross the fishery. The association recommends keeping at least 20 metres from overhead cables.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
