Lower Trehelig Farm, River Severn

River level

The lowdown

• This is one of the Prince Albert Angling Society’s River Severn beats, at Lower Trehelig Farm, Trehelig, Welshpool.
• The location is recorded as National Grid Reference SJ 214 022. Handy one for the sat-nav, although the proper access details sit behind the Society’s member information.
• Lower Trehelig is on the west bank. The public information does not confirm whether anglers can fish one bank or both.
• There is no published beat length or peg count, so don’t bank on a set number of swims or a measured stretch.
• Access was previously affected by giant hogweed. The Society has carried out control work on its river beats to keep fishing open and accessible.
• Membership includes interactive maps with detailed water information, satellite imagery, local river levels and navigation to parking via what3words.
• The printed Waters Guide includes directions, access and parking information for each water. That’s the bit to check before setting off, rather than faffing about on arrival.
• The Society can communicate unexpected closures and fishing restrictions through its member information systems. Check these before fishing.
• Specific water regulations are supplied through the Society’s ticket or member water information. The public pages do not confirm night fishing here.
• No species are specifically listed for Lower Trehelig in the official information, so there’s no firm species list to work from for this beat.
• 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 publish specific methods, swims, depths or river features for Lower Trehelig. Use the Society’s water information for the current details, then match your approach to the conditions on the day.

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.
