When it cools down I hope to have a first visit to Stacklands

I’ve just acquired some waders and was wondering if it’s a suitable venue and what I can expect to catch?

Any help please guys??

Re: Stacklands help please

Roger, last time there was July and the river was weed choked on the bottom with green fine weed that was impossible to present a bait. It choked the end tackle, just a big eel for me and a couple of big chub for son. It might have cleared but doubt it given the weather of late. It was the first time I fished it for three seasons, have had good barbel etc incl a double figure barbel in the past, but would wait for a flush through...happy to join you in a session with you if you want in the Autumn.

Re: Stacklands help please

Thanks for the reply Neil,
I remember now reading your post on one of the forums and think your right saying wait for a good flush through. I’ve been watching to much of Nic (Avon angling) and getting carried away.
also waiting for a flush through to push all the good roach down to Hereford, I fancy some roach fishing as well on the town stretch when the time is right.
Trying to be more adventurous this year, not been to the river Teme yet, tried Arly left bank last month but was a bit disappointed with all the litter and line left about!
Will let you know somehow when I go to Stacklands in a few weeks time.
Hope all is well with you Neil.
Rog.

Hi Rog,
Still around just about ...Yep the weed at Stacklands was a real problem, I did see a you tube vid recently where John Bailey had the exact same problem but at Berwadine (sp) I think it's down to the poultry farms upstream tbh.
Not fished the Teme yet too, been promising myself so need to act.
Now Autumn around the corner hoping for some more water in the Wye etc, so will give you a shout if you fancy a Barbel bonanza at the famous Stacklands.grin

Should have added Rog, possibly not the best venue for wading, but there is a couple of croys that would give you a nice platform to trot a float through.

Thanks for the reply Neil,
A couple of months ago I asked the baa if it was possible to contact the bailiff and ask his advice and had a reply telling me to post my questions on the forum as there would be loads of help!
Good job your paying attention!!

Re: Stacklands help please

Hi Rog, sorry I left you hanging too....the questions are left unanswered but as far as the weed problem is concerned I would hope the recent extra water had flushed it away. The parking there is a problem if the track is closed so it might be a plan to look for alternatives before setting out considering it's a bit of a trek.
The Wye bailiff is a good bloke I can only think he doesn't log on here too much?
Hoping to get down there early next month
