For a diversity of fishing opportunities look no further than Hawford Bridge.
The 5 mature lakes and 1 mile stretch of river offer a variety of fishing challenges throughout the year.
Whether you are a keen match angler or just a pleasure fisherman we can offer a lot of variety within any single day.
Whether you wish to tackle the hard fighting ghosties and perch in the stillwaters or seek out the chub, barbel and pike on the river you will always be welcome.
To support our objective of providing a quiet, mature fishery with quality fish stock we ask that keepnets are only used in matches.
We strictly observe the Close Season on the river.
Please read and respect the rules for the fishery.

The River Salwarpe
A tributary of the River Severn which joins the main river about half a mile downstream, the River Salwarpe is typical of many small rivers in that, although not large and wide, it offers a variety of pegs and swims and holds some decent fish - not least amongst them the barbel and carp which at 7lbs to 8lbs give a good account of themselves in the narrow river and need holding to keep them out of
