Re: Teme HeavenGlad to have stirred some discussion on this subject. To be fair should have kept quiet about my good day but was so chuffed, had to say something. I think the pleasure is not just in actually catching the fish, but finding a tactic, a bait, and also a swim to catch from. This you can only do for yourself, by spending a bit of time and effort. I have found most anglers, I have spoken to on baa venues, very helpful in regard to local info and tactics. The teme is not a one trick pony, may try for grayling and dace on the pin next time. It's just a pleasure to be out on the river. Cheers Tc.

Re: Teme HeavenThanks for your reply. I would start by doing what your name suggests, and pick four or five good looking swims. Then try giving each one maybe an hour and see what response you get. If you live local maybe scout a couple of venues first. Try hair rigged meat with maybe a couple of swan link lead. I spoke to a guy on the Severn some weeks ago and he thought that too much feed, hemp or pellet could spook the fish, especially if they are already there. Just feed a few loose offerings regularly. You will need to fish fairly heavy line, 10lb at least. You will see why when you hook a decent fish in a snaggy swim, which a lot are. Venues try doddenham, broadwas, cotheridge if you can get to it and maybe Stanford bridge. You will catch, just be patient, and wait for that day when everything comes right. Good luck. Tc

Teme HeavenAs a new member, this year, I have enjoyed fishing some of the waters I never fished as a member years ago. Uckinghall and mythe pools are beautiful. The mease, the anker also the middle severn. My favourite river has always been the Teme. Fished it today at Broadwas, and was pleasantly suprised. Using roving tactics with link ledgered meat, had first fish a barbel of 6 to 7 pounds,, within 30 minutes of starting. This was my first teme barbel in 30 years at least. To say i was chuffed would be an understatement. Went on to have one more barbel plus 3 nice fin perfect chub all around 3 pounds, also lost two good barbel in snaggy swim. Boy do these teme fish go. Some swims are difficult to access, but that's what you expect, with banks as high as you will see on any local river. Congrats to baa for retaining such wild wonderful places, where you can sometimes fish all day, and not see another angler. Will certianly return to try again soon, just wish I lived a bit more local rather than, in brum. Cheers from Tc.
