Tewkesbury Popular Angling Association — River Severn at Tewkesbury

River level

The lowdown

• This is the River Severn at Tewkesbury, with the Severn Ham sitting as an island within the river. The setting is classic Gloucestershire floodplain stuff.
• The council records twenty fishing pegs below the weir. That’s the clearest steer on where the association’s Severn fishing is concentrated.
• Access to the fishing area is restricted to the path, so expect a walk rather than a park-up-and-pile-out job.
• TPAA has permission for one vehicle on the Severn Ham on Sundays, but that’s intended for people unable to walk to the fishing points.
• The Severn widens and meanders through the floodplain here. The Mill Avon joins the Severn at Lower Lode, adding to the proper watery feel around Tewkesbury.
• Fishing is recorded from June to mid-October. Handy seasonal window, but don’t assume it runs every summer.
• Some summers the association doesn’t fish the Severn because of tide times. Worth checking before making the trip, as that could save a fair bit of faff.
• Abbey Mill sits on a lade on the eastern side of Severn Ham. The area has plenty of connected water and old-river character.
• TPAA has been involved in removing and monitoring floating pennywort near Abbey Mill, with Environment Agency monitoring on nearby water too.
• There’s no confirmed fish list, night-fishing detail, parking provision or current ticket pricing in the checked paperwork. So get the latest club info before heading down.
• We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: The checked details don’t confirm a method or tackle approach for this stretch. With the Severn’s changing floodplain character, check current local arrangements before planning a trotting or feeder session.

Access & tickets

The checked council papers do not state current day-ticket or season-ticket prices. Contact Tewkesbury Popular Angling Association for the current permit position before fishing.

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