The lowdown
- This is the natural-water bit of the Larford Lakes complex, rather than one of the three stillwater lakes. Nice setup if you fancy mixing river fishing with proper fishery facilities.
- There are approximately 80 river pegs across the fishery. That’s a fair few swims, although the checked details don’t pin down the exact layout or which pegs sit on this particular section.
- Barbel and chub are the main names attached to the River Severn stretch. The holder also lists roach, perch, eels and dace in the river.
- Barbel to 14 lb have been caught from the river, so there’s genuine specimen potential here. A cracking target if you like finding a crease and putting a bait in front of a proper lump.
- The river is described as suitable for pleasure, match and specimen anglers. That gives it a broad brief, from a relaxed session to a more focused hunt for bigger fish.
- Fishing platforms are provided around the complex. Handy if you prefer a defined swim, and a useful touch for anglers who need easier access.
- There’s a fishery vehicle to carry tackle down to the pegs for a small charge. Bob on if you’ve brought the kitchen sink and don’t fancy a long haul.
- Secure on-site parking is protected by CCTV. The complex also has male and female toilets, disabled facilities and an 80-seat café, so the day’s fairly well catered for.
- The surrounding Worcestershire countryside is highlighted as a distinguishing feature. The exact flow, depth, bankside features and seasonal tactics aren’t set out in the checked details, so those bits need confirming when booking.
- We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.
Methods: The stretch is set up for pleasure, match and specimen fishing, with barbel and chub the obvious starting points. The checked details don’t specify particular rigs, baits or tactics, so keep the approach flexible around the swim.

Key rules
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.
