The lowdown

  • This is proper riverside fishing beside the Lower Lode Inn, with the Severn running past the frontage.
  • The setting is near Tewkesbury, with Forthampton the nearest named settlement. Handy enough for a day out, especially if you fancy a brew afterwards.
  • There’s on-site parking at the inn, although the official details don’t confirm a parking area reserved specifically for anglers.
  • Winter can bring a bit of a faff, as the approach roads may be affected by flooding. Worth bearing in mind before setting off.
  • The inn has riverside frontage, plus an adjacent campsite, private slipway and river moorings. It’s a busy riverside spot rather than a totally tucked-away fishery.
  • The Lower Lode ferry crosses the Severn between the inn and the Tewkesbury side, adding another bit of character to the location.
  • The frontage is also identified as an access point for wild swimming and paddle boarding, so keep your eyes open for other river users.
  • No exact stretch length, peg count or fishable boundaries are published, and it isn’t confirmed whether the fishing is from one bank or both.
  • The official information doesn’t give a species list, so there’s no firm call here on what’s in the swim. Likewise, no specific feeder, trotting or other approach is set out.
  • It’s advertised as day fishing rather than a public season-ticket fishery. Night fishing, tackle restrictions, bait rules and catch limits aren’t confirmed.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: The checked information does not specify particular methods, bait choices or tackle rules. Keep to the permit conditions supplied when buying your ticket.
