I first started out as a kid fishing the river Severn , we had a caravan in Bridgnorth so I fished it up to about the age of 12 , biggest fish a four pound barbel caught on meat held on with a piece of grass attached to a swim feeder full of maggots.
I remember it being wonderful fishing with the Old Man underneath the Severn Valley railway.
Now having fished numerous commercials and canals and becoming "all carped out" my son and I have decided to give the rivers a go , but where do you start ? We are prepared to blank , possibly , the first couple of times but what venues and tactics would people recommend to start with and maintain our interest ?
I think perhaps a prolific day ticket water and probably fishing a feeder stuffed with hemp and a hair rigged trout pellet or worm - what do you think ?
We are in the Midlands prepared to spend some time driving
