Fishing at Apley

Posted by Tim Hughes on Thursday, October 29, 2009, In : Meet Captain Woods 
Many moons ago, in a time now long forgotten............................................................



...................................... Well, about 7-8 years ago, I was first introduced to river fishing on the Severn, by a good friend at the time Paul. I had, previous to this, around 15 years sea angling experience so liked to think that I wasn't a complete beginner. Paul took me to Apley, about 2 miles up river from Bridgnorth.

On Tuesday the 6th Oct, with the river still exceptionally low for the time of year, I decided to venture down to Arley near Bewdley. After an old friend got in touch through this site I thought I would try to take him somewhere special! I had also had a tip from a local that the...
