Fishing along the River Severn
The Severn contains nearly every native species of freshwater fish in the British Isles - including salmon, trout, eels and coarse fish - together with the rare twaite and allis shad. For centuries the river has been fished for the local delicacy, elvers. These are now so expensive that most of them are exported.
