Pimley Manor

Double-figure barbel, six-pound chub, pike and perch below the island. One of the most popular in Shrewsbury.

Pimley Manor continues on the right-hand bank from Pimley Rough, downstream of the sewage works to the inlet of the stream below the A5 bridge. Fishing here is excellent for all river species.

Barbel into double figures show here regularly, especially when the river is carrying extra water. Very large chub feature often, with fish going over six pounds and occasionally into seven. Pike and perch fishing below the island can be prolific. Salmon are caught in the shallows above the island opposite the Gypsy Stone. Bream shoal up in the large slack above the island, and bags of silvers can be caught over the faster gravel runs on the stick float. This fishery has it all and is one of the most popular in Shrewsbury.

Parking

There are two car parks, with room for plenty of anglers.

Under the A5 bridge. The main car park is under the A5 bridge. Turn off the south-bound carriageway; there is no access from the north-bound side. The gate is locked and must always be locked behind you. Contact the Secretary for the code. Drive down the track and park in the second bay under the bridge.

At Pimley Manor. As you arrive at the Manor, turn right towards the cottages. Park on the left, next to the brick wall, away from the cottages.

Driving along the bank at Pimley Manor is not allowed except for permitted work-party and emergency vehicles.
