welder Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Are there any Gloucestershire based anglers on here? The Red Lion Caravan and Camping Park at Norton, near Gloucester, is right on the bank of the River Severn and my wife, bless her, has us booked on with trusty caravan for several days over the August Bank Holiday. I'd be grateful for any hints and tips about fishing this stretch. There's nothing better than local knowledge. I'd also like to know what species I'm likely to encounter, please. Is the beer any good? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc 1950 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ian, unfortunately I haven't had any experience of fishing that stretch, or even the river, but have been fortunate to experience The Red Lion, surprise surprise I would be happy to come down and help you sample the beer if you like. Ring me whilst you're there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welder Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 pellets,pellets and more pellets followed by a few source boilies mate, the barbel and chub wont enjoy them I'll certainly give it a go. I'd planned on taking pellets of varying size and boilies of some sort. I'm a fan of Mainline Cell but I'll take some Source, too. Oh, and worms, Bacon Grill and cheesepaste................ Thanks.

I've had good chub from the River Alne using Cell boilies, however, I asked for local info and I'm not going to ignore it. Thanks Bish.
