Re: Catching on the river TemeThere's a couple of pegs on the old Bransford Court stretch below the BAA water that are over 20 foot deep, a big deep slack on the bend that seems bottomless. Barbel Society water now. And some down the very bottom just above the mouth of the Teme that are just as deep.

Re: Catching on the river TemeThat's where the farmer has his pumping truck stationed when he's irrigating the land behind. Good peg that, slightly deeper towards the bottom of the peg and barbel just past halfway across. Always used to be the flier when it was the Portobello water. The very last peg also contains some proper lumps, big chub.

Re: 1980 BAA Guide to WatersSeveral down by the Great Ouse at Deanshanger and Leighton Buzzard. Will scan the pages when I get a chance.

Re: Catching on the river TemeI grew up on the Teme, fished it at least a couple of times a week for many years, loads of different stretches but frequently what is now the BAA Bransford water. It's changed almost beyond recognition, both bankside and in the river itself, the barbel stocks have dissipated for whatever reasons and the chub aren't as prolific. Still a lovely river to fish if you set your expectations right and prepare to move around. The bottom four or five pegs at Bransford, in the deeps, will still cough up some seriously impressive fish. I've had chub over 5lb and barbel to 8+ from these pegs in the last couple of years, just not as many of them as 30 years ago.

Re: 1980 BAA Guide to WatersThink the Leam waters must have gone by 1980, they're not in this edition, sorry.
