River Severn – Winnall

Winnall is Kidderminster & District Angling Association’s members-only Lower Severn water, three miles below Stourport. There’s proper flow from Lincombe weir upstream, a gravel bed and published depths of 6–12 feet.

Run by Kidderminster & District Angling Association · checked 3 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • This is Lower Severn fishing, three miles below Stourport, with KDAA running the stretch. It’s members only, so get your membership sorted before heading down — there’s no cheeky day-ticket option at Winnall.
  • The river has good flow coming from Lincombe weir upstream. That’s a useful bit of character to keep in mind when planning your session: moving water is part of the picture here.
  • Published depths run from 6 to 12 feet over gravel. That gives you a decent depth range to think about, rather than treating every swim as though it’s the same bit of river.
  • Twenty well-spaced pegs were restored during the 2015–16 work, and many received new platforms. The spacing is a handy part of the setup, though platforms weren’t fitted to every single peg.
  • The restoration had funding from the Angling Trust and Environment Agency. It covered the fishing pegs and restored the original downstream car park — a proper investment in getting the stretch back into shape.
  • There’s also a second car park at the upstream end. The published walking route crosses two small ditches, with the fishing stretching upstream from that access point. Worth remembering when packing your kit.
  • KDAA names barbel, bream, roach, chub, perch, dace and pike for Winnall itself. That’s a cracking mix of river species, rather than a stretch described around just one target fish.
  • Keep this one a daytime outing: night fishing is prohibited. Braid and fires are out too, and all litter must go home with you. No fish may be removed from the water.

Methods: Plan your approach around the published 6–12-foot depths, gravel bed and good flow from upstream. Keep braid out of the setup — it’s prohibited here.
