Birmingham Anglers Association

Thanks Craig. I did speak to Lukasz (bailiff) who said he would let you know as well.

First I've heard about a fuel spill but Stanford Bridge is downstream of Eardiston anyway, so that wouldn't explain it. Where was this reported - I'd be interested to know more. I watched some huge chub at the bridge at Bransford about a week ago - where I caught my pb of 5.25lbs a few years ago - so that far downstream doesn't seem to have affected that much of the river. Still a disaster though.

The non-rising brownies on the Teme is something I've noticed in previous years. They just seem to come to be caught at Eardiston on maggots by coarse anglers or on lures. They just don't see interested in the usual flies. Considering the food bonanza during mayfly hatches it seems very strange. Everything else, including the ducks, are eating them.
