None that I've ever heared of in the Severn.

 

If it's a UK river fish you're after, you could try the Great Ouse, the Trent or the Thames as there have been plenty of rumours about big cats in these rivers over recent years - of course actually going out and catching a big fish that is only rumoured to exist can be a bit like tring to nail down smoke.

 

For local cats, Shattersford fishery between Bewdley and Bridgenorth has a fair few and I think there are some in an estate lake just outside Dudley but I can't remember the name - Hampton or hagley hall - well something like that.

is it himly hall by any chance...thta onli a 10minute walk from my house.

That's the one !

Have a look at the CCG site or just go knoke on the door.

I fished shatterford once. Great if you like to fish in a small concrete tank. Take a normal brolly as a titan or oval will not fit on the bank and pegs into concrete are a challenge. There is a bit of earth you can get a brolly spike into. My viper actually had to hang over the waters edge.
