River Stour (Midlands)

Had a good look at the River Stour below Kidderminster today. No one fishing it, but some beautiful looking swims with fords, eddies and nice little bends with good cover. They seem to be ideal for Barbel and Chub.

sounds like a nice little river mate...as a lover of small rivers targetting mainly chub and barbel,and always looking at different rivers all over the midlands to try my hand its always been a river in the back of my mind,shame as it probly gets neglected because of being so close to the severn
