What a joke!! the BAA state on there website that this is probably there best stretch of river. Well let me advise any one going to this venue. You won't get to the waters edge as it is inaccessible due to it been left to go wild and has not been looked after by the BAA. I travelled near on 70 miles to fish it on the advice of the BAA website. What a load of Bo**cks! Us as paying members should be able to fish any BAA venue without to much of a problem but this is a joke. I as an expierienced roving river angler am one not to complain at rivers left to go wild but this is beyond wild. BAA you may aswell take this of your books to avoid dissappointment from other anglers. Or get your team into action and get it sorted, NOW!!
P.S I ended up having to travel a further 22miles and fished at the Danery. This was excellent and the work done by the BAA works team is as it should be at every location on the BAA book.

Re: lindridge, eardiston access
You were lucky in changing venue's, It;s rock hard Eardistone and Linridge, tbh it might be better just to let the stretch go 'fallow' anyway for a few seasons.

Re: lindridge, eardiston access
This can be frustrating, always a good idea to check the BAA work plan on the web site to see what work has been done if going anywhere that may be a challenge. I seem to remember in one BAA handbook, not sure about the current one, some stretches of the Teme described as for the '' intrepid angler '', which I would interpret as nigh on impossible, but as they have commented in the past, they try to cater for everyone Of course if you haven't seen a place before it is a gamble anyway.
But also it does seem that it is money not best spent to be paying to rent a stretch that has very few or at times no fishable pegs, on the odd time or two I have fished the Teme pegs have been at a premium, and of course it is wasted money if you have a long journey and find you can't fish.
Nevertheless the BAA does offer tremendous value, though I am lucky in having the Avon within 15 to 20 minutes. Wish they could get some River Arrow, a good stretch with easy parking ? Some nice chub and barbel in there.

Barbelhunter, all the other stretches on the BAA will produce, even now, but it is much harder. Used to fish Eardistone a lot, had some good days there, pre 2007. You know the saying for the Teme if you cant see the bottom you will find the fish.

Re: lindridge, eardiston access
Doddenham was unfishable weekend of 18/19 June without abseiling down the bank. Work plan says it was being done 27th June, will go back and have a look over the weekend. Not sure it's that good a stretch though.
