Bevere — KFAC

River level

The lowdown

• This is one of Kinver Freeliners Angling Club’s Severn venues, with the adjoining Northwick section also under KFAC control. It’s club-water territory, not a quick pay-and-fish stop.
• The river here includes Bevere Weir, Bevere Island and the channel running towards Bevere Lock. Properly defined features, though the checked details don’t give a swim count or stretch length.
• Bevere Island is out of bounds to both members and guests. Keep that firmly off the plan and stick to the permitted banks and swims.
• The short bit between the two metal swing gates below Bevere Weir is not controlled by KFAC. Don’t assume the whole run below the weir is club water.
• Fishing is also permitted in the Northwick section below the most southerly swing gate. That adjoins Bevere, so make sure you’re clear which section you’re fishing.
• Night fishing is permitted on both Bevere and Northwick. Handy if you fancy settling in properly, but the Bevere car park still has strict arrival and departure times.
• The Bevere car park is tiny, with room for four vehicles. Members must not arrive before 05:00 or leave after 23:00. If it’s full, park elsewhere.
• Only KFAC members may park there, and guests must share transport with a club member. A KFAC parking sticker needs to be displayed, and the access gate must be shut and secured.
• There’s no published Bevere peg count, length or venue-specific species list. So the sensible approach is to check the swim and conditions on the day rather than turning up with a rigid plan.

Methods: The checked details don’t specify a preferred method, depth or seasonal approach for Bevere. Match the approach to the river and swim you find, while keeping within the club’s rod and venue rules.

Access & tickets

Bevere is members-only and KFAC does not offer day tickets for this section. Membership runs from 1 April to 31 March, is capped at approximately 300 with a waiting list, and provides access to all club venues.

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