FISHING GUIDE 1997/98 a Guide to Day Ticket Fisheries in the Midlands a GUIDE WELCOME for ANGLERS FISHING GUIDE 1997/98 A Guide to day ticket fisheries in the Midlands A GUIDE WELCOME FOR ANGLERS "I am privileged to have the opportunity of introducing the latest edition of this ever popular Fishing Guide published by the M idlands Region o f the Environment Agency. I believe this Guide, together with other lines of communication such as the ‘Fisheries News’ magazine which is freely available, offers reassurance to anglers and other river users that the Agency’s commitment to safeguarding and improving the water environment is as strong as ever. I can assure you that there is a real awareness within the Agency of the vital environmental role anglers play which can be enhanced still further by anglers continuing to both support the work of Fisheries staff and to provide information on the health of our rivers. Real benefits have resulted from this partnership to date including improvements to fish habitat, river water quality and river flows. This partnership is one which the Agency wishes to encourage and considers must continue if together we are to secure the long term well-being of our fisheries for both present and future generations. I ask all recipients of this guide to help the Agency respond to the environmental challenges which lie ahead by keeping us informed about any potential problems identified.” Best wishes and tight lines.

For Fisheries purposes, the area covered and officers responsible remain the same as those encompassed by the former NRA Severn and Trent catchment boundaries (see map overleaf). With over 7000 km of river, almost 1000 km of canal and an increasing number of stillwaters, the Region contains an extremely varied and important fisheries resource. En v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y All the major rivers and canals support valuable coarse fisheries along much of their length. The Midlands Region contains some of the largest and most important rivers in the country Rivers such as the Trent, Avon and Severn have all hosted national and international angling championships. Other rivers such as the Teme, Dove and Derwent are prized for individual catches of barbel, chub, salmon and trout. Many smaller rivers provide good sport for both the serious and occasional angler and all play a part in contributing the quality of life o f many people.

Fishing rights change hands and therefore anglers are urged to make preliminary enquiries before travelling to a selected venue. r c FISHERIES & THE AGENCY A G U ID E f o r anglersjm h m m m m m m h m i WH Y DO YOU Every angler must have an Environment Agency rod licence before NEED A LICENCE? he or she starts fishing (see page 10). Not only is fishing without a licence a criminal offence, carrying a maximum fine of £2500, it also deprives the Agency of the funds it needs to carry out vital work. The Fisheries section of the Agency is becoming increasingly reliant on income from licence sales as Government funding is reduced (see Fig 1). Anglers who do not buy a licence are spoiling the sport for others and threaten the long-term health o f our fisheries. WHAT DOES THE Under the Environment Act 1995 (and formerly the Salmon and EA DO FOR Freshwater Fisheries Act, 1975) the Environment Agency has FISHERIES? a statutory duty to maintain, improve and develop fisheries. We do this for the benefit of anglers, commercial netsmen and the general public. WHAT DOES • We can use various legal powers to protect fish and fisheries THIS MEAN? from over-exploitation and other damaging activities • We can develop a programme to improve those fisheries which have previously been damaged through development or neglect • We can increase the availability of fishing opportunities, both for recreational and commercial fishing THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY WILL ACHIEVE THESE AIMS THROUGH; ENFORCEMENT Our team of highly skilled Fishery Inspectors and Water Bailiffs patrol the region’s fisheries, making sure that anglers and commercial netsmen have valid licences and are abiding by the necessary byelaws. In 1995/6 Agency staff, challenged 40,850 anglers in this region and this resulted in over 1000 licence and byelaw prosecutions. Make sure you get a licence before you go fishing. In addition, specially trained staff protect Salmon against poachers. Nowadays, poachers are often formed into highly organised criminal gangs. FISHERIES & THE AGENCY _ mnc ___________________ A GUIDE MMMMMMMMMMMMML f o r a n g l e r s Under the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act, 1975 we ensure REGULATION that fishing and fisheries continue to exist together on sustainable basis. It is an offence to stock fish into any water without permission and laws are aimed at preventing the spread of diseases and exotic fish species. Anyone wishing to introduce fish into any watercourse or stillwater should contact their local Environment Agency office. £21.1 million Fig 1. Total Regional Expenditure 9 6 /9 7 To protect and improve fisheries, we must first assess the general MONITORING nature and health of the fish stocks. Agency scientists carried out surveys at 426 sites across the region in 1995/6 using electric fishing, netting and echo-sounding techniques. We are dedicated to improving the water quality of rivers and canals. WATER QUALITY A vital part of the work of the Fisheries department is to make IMPROVEMENTS sure that the needs of fish and fish stocks are catered for in water quality improvement programmes. In addition, Fisheries staff are investigating new methods of combating the effects of acid rain on upland tributaries. FISHERIES & THE AGENCY A G UIDE FOR ANGLERS PHYSICAL HABITAT The physical nature o f a river is as important to fish as the IMPROVEMENTS quality of the water. Many rivers have been canalised in the past to speed land drainage and help navigation. Fisheries staff are trying to restore as many rivers as possible to a more natural state. This is done by constructing meanders, riffles, groynes and fish passes to improve the opportunities for fish spawning and survival. B .

Fisheries Expenditure - Environment Agency Midlands Region REARING Our coarse fish farm, located at Calverton, Nottinghamshire is the AND STOCKING only one of its kind in Europe and produces 300,000 high quality dace, chub, barbel and roach each year. These are needed to replace fish lost through pollution and to give improving river fisheries a “kick-start”. This region also rears 100,000 salmon fry each year which are stocked into the River Severn and its tributaries. Unfortunately, whether it be accidental, deliberate or due to natural FISH MORTALITIES causes, pollution does occur and does kill a large number o f fish each year. We try to attend every reported pollution incident, to establish the cause of the problem, to take action and decide whether FISHERIES & THE AGENCY ______________________________________ ___ A G U ID E nMMMMnHnMMMMMLFOR a n g l e r s to prosecute. Where possible, fish are moved to other waters for safety and returned when the water quality has been restored. In 1995/6, there were 234 such incidents, accounting for 105,000 fish deaths.

  • Families & Ferries at Potter's Loade
    Lives in the Landscape Families & Ferries at Potter’s Loade For hundreds of years in rural areas, ferries were invaluable for transporting people, goods, and even livestock between riverbanks. By the 1920’s there were 28 ferries shown on Ordnance Survey maps across the length of the River Severn—including the Potter’s Loade ferry. Records show that a ferry at Potter’s Loade was mentioned as early as 1690 when ‘….the passage over the river…with the boate there belonging at Potters Load’ was included in the lease to nearby Hall Close Farm. It is also mentioned in an advert in the Shrewsbury Chronicle on 16th August 1777 where Rhea Hall in Highley was to be auctioned and the lot included ‘right of free passage over the River Severn at Potter’s Load…..’ Right: Photograph of ‘Lease of possession of the scite of the manor at Alveley’ 4 April,1690 There are a number of mentions of the ferry (and cottage) at Potter’s Loade in the newspaper as over the years it was advertised as ‘TO LET’. These articles have been researched on the British Newspapers Archive website. On 18 September 1851 in Worcester Journal a house, garden, new boat and ferry over the Severn at Potter’s Loade is advertised with applications to J. Bacon. For 3 weeks, in 1864 (20 February- 5 March), a house, garden with ferry over the Severn are advertised with enquires to Mr Fellows. Finally, in 1901 (16th February) there is an advert in the Wellington Journal for a boatman to take charge of Potter’s Loade ferry with applications to H.E.

  • Management of River Severn Regulation
    EA-MIDLANDS RIVER SEVERN E n v ir o n m e n t Regulation - fact sheet 3 Ag e n c y Management of River Severn Regulation Regulation of the River Severn balances the needs of parties warning them to prepare for any restrictions that water users with the protection of the environment. may be placed on them during regulation. The letter states This balance is managed by the Environment Agency that regulation releases may be required from Llyn in liaison with water users, to ensure that the river Clywedog in the next fortnight. and the estuary are protected from damage resulting from low flows. Supporting the river Controlling the flow Increased flow monitoring takes place during a Regulation Alert. Actual and proposed water use information from the The Act of Parliament which allowed the creation of water companies and other major users, such as Ironbridge LJyn Clywedog also set down a minimum flow to be Power Station, is analysed. This data is used to forecast maintained at a control point at Bewdley in the middle when flows are likely to fall below the 850 Ml/d minimum reaches of the River Severn. The minimum flow was originally flow at Bewdley. The forecasts are based on current trends, defined as 720 million litres a day (Ml/d) to ensure dilution of historic flow patterns, predicted abstractions and weather waste water discharges from the Black Country and to allow forecasts. When it appears likely that the minimum flow for abstractions and environmental needs downstream. This will be reached, releases are planned from Llyn Clywedog has now been changed to a five day average minimum flow to support the flow.

  • Shropshire Biodiversity Action Plan
    Shropshire Biodiversity Action Plan Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) ©Dave Appleton Dippers feed almost exclusively on larvae that live on the stony beds of shallow fast flowing streams, usually at the rapids, and are never far from such waters. They usually stay on their breeding grounds throughout the year, and might be seen at any time, either bobbing up and down on the rocks in the middle of the stream, or flying low over the water. Breeding usually starts in late March or early April, sometimes earlier, and nesting pairs will attempt to raise two broods. Though some Dippers nest in natural cavities along the riverbank, others build nests on ledges on bridges, and they take readily to nest boxes located directly above the flowing water, where predators are unable to reach them. They are very territorial, so nests are evenly spaced on each stretch of river. In the south Shropshire Hills, the spacing is around 1 kilometre. Once some nests are found, and the average distance between them established, it is possible to work out if any territories are unoccupied. Because they are restricted to, and dependent on, food from the river, they are relatively easy to monitor and a good indicator of the water quality in the river. Pairs nesting along acidic streams tend to lay their eggs later, lay smaller clutches, raise smaller broods and raise only one brood. 1 Objectives and Targets 1.1 Objectives A. In the short term, maintain existing populations and range of Dipper in Shropshire. B. In the longer term, reverse the decline in Dipper population, and restore its previous population and range C.

Introduction and Background 1.1 Market Drayton Neighbourhood Development Plan (the NDP) is a new type of planning document introduced by the Localism Act of 2011. It is enables local communities to make a significant contribution to some of the planning decisions about how their areas should develop. 1.2 On 13th January 2015, Market Drayton Town Council made a formal submission to Shropshire Council to designate an area comprising the Market Drayton Town Council area and small parts of its adjacent parishes as a Neighbourhood Plan Area under the Localism Act 2011, with the intention of preparing this NDP. The area covered by this NDP is shown on Map 1. Following a consultation period, including discussions with those adjacent parish councils, Shropshire Council approved the application to be an appropriate basis for the development of a neighbourhood plan. This draft NDP has been prepared following the adoption of Shropshire Local Plan comprising its Core Strategy adopted in March 2011 and its Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan in December 2015 both by Shropshire Council. 1.3 This draft NDP has been prepared on the basis of the evidence gathered including from a survey of residents and other relevant information.

  • Appendix a Environmental Baseline
    Appendix A Environmental Baseline . Introduction The data collected to characterise the baseline environment of Telford and Wrekin Borough has been derived from numerous secondary sources, which are referenced as footnotes in this report. No new investigations or surveys have been undertaken. In some instances, it has been noted that different secondary sources present conflicting information and it has not been possible to verify which sources are the most accurate. Where this has been identified, the limitations have been noted. It should be noted that there is an abundance of environmental information available. However, the information presented in this Appendix has been chosen on the basis that it may be influenced or affected by the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS). Steps have been taken to avoid including information which is of no clear relevance to the LFRMS. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. Population .. Population The topic of population is considered first in the baseline information, since the over-arching purpose of the LFRMS is to reduce flood risk to people and property. The LFRMS also seeks to increase public awareness of flooding and promote individual and community level flood resilience. A number of properties in the Telford and Wrekin Area are in areas at risk of flooding and were affected by flooding during the Summer 2007 floods. Some of the properties were affected by flooding from fluvial sources (streams, rivers) but many properties were affected from surface water flooding from sewers and drainsi.
