Sedge,
You only had to look at the barbs that were being caught this year on the lower Severn to realise that they were growing fat on something, "rich" can take on many meanings and in this case weed doesn't seem to be part of the equation...some years there may for instance an abundace of pea snails or similar aquatic food source.
The lower Severn has always held a large head of large head of big fish.....before the barbs the bream shoals were legendary along with plenty of roach......they wouldn't have got so prolific or large if the lower Severn wasn't rich in some form.
