Shrewsbury Anglers Club

Shrewsbury Anglers Club holds fishing access to important sections of the River Severn through Shrewsbury and on the upper and middle Severn in Shropshire. As one of the longer-established clubs in the county, it gives members the chance to fish urban Severn pegs through the county town as well as quieter rural stretches further upriver and down.

The Severn through Shrewsbury offers a genuine variety of fishing. Town pegs hold roach, dace, chub, and perch in good numbers, while the wider middle Severn is well known for its barbel, with double-figure fish caught regularly by members who put the time in. Pike fishing through the winter adds further interest, and seasonal salmon runs are an occasional bonus.

The Severn is a properly big river with serious flows after rain, and Shrewsbury Anglers offers members the kind of varied access that lets you adapt to conditions. Float fishing, feeder, and pole tactics all produce on the right peg, and the urban stretches are particularly accessible for anglers without transport.

For anyone in Shrewsbury, Wem, or the wider Shropshire area looking for proper river fishing on one of England’s great coarse rivers, this club gives you the keys to it.
