Lenchford, River Severn, Shrawley

River level

The lowdown

• Phoenix Angling Club took over the fishing here in 1998. It’s a proper steep-banked bit of Severn, so take care around the edge and don’t assume every bit is easy to reach.
• The venue is beside The Lenchford Riverside Inn, near Shrawley, and the official postcode is WR6 6TB. Access is through the pub car park.
• The access gate from the pub car park must be kept locked at all times. Same goes for any other fitted gates — shut and lock them behind you.
• Members can park in the pub car park on weekdays. At weekends, park in the slip road next to the car park instead. Easy enough, but worth remembering before you unload.
• There’s no confirmed published length for the Lenchford stretch, and no confirmed peg count either. So don’t expect a neat row of numbered swims or a handy stretch measurement.
• The club’s published Lenchford-specific rules don’t give a permitted species list or a night-fishing provision. Check with the club before planning anything outside a straightforward day session.
• All fish must go back alive and be handled with minimum stress. Barbel must not be kept in a keepnet, except during a bona fide contest.
• In hot weather or low-oxygen conditions, fish must not be retained longer than necessary. If you’re specifically fishing for carp on club waters, an unhooking mat or cradle is compulsory.
• The club’s general rules also ban litter at the waters and parking areas. Members and guests need to carry the current club card or a valid guest permit, so don’t leave it at home.

Methods: The checked details don’t publish a specific method, swim or seasonal approach for Lenchford. Tackle and tactics are therefore best confirmed with Phoenix Angling Club before fishing.
