I'm going to fish the Severn at Stourport tomorrow so this is primarily for those who know how it fishes but any input is welcome. I have heard it fishes well late season when the Roach move into the slower water, hopefully it's not too late in the season. Just wondering how I should approach it being a bit of a novice river angler.
I have put a pint of hemp to soak, not much, but wondering if hemp is even worth bothering with at this time of year?
Other bait I will have is 2 pints of maggots and a pint of casters. I will also have a bag of Dynamite Caster Groundbait. Is it worth feeding much groundbait?
It looks as though the river will be rising tomorrow, possibly a bad sign, it's meant to be quite low at the moment. I want to fish a stick float so I can use my new 17' Acolyte but will the fish come in close or should I set up a waggler rod as well?
Sorry for the basic questions but I have only fished it in Summer and aside from the first time I fished it when I had a few Roach among the Perch, it has mostly been Perch there and to be honest that is what I expect tomorrow, a handful of Perch, but you never know.
