I have read some old threads saying there is a problem with travellers and not to fish there alone. There is clearly a permanent travellers site visible on Google Earth. I went last week, before I read the threads, but did not have a problem. I have since made further enquiries locally and been told that the travellers think Stubbs Pool is their swimming pool and not to go to there, although the tracks to the river are clearly well used, but is this just weekend matches?
Any other recent experience of casual fishing there? Is this just a problem with fishing the pool?

Re: Cleeve Prior
I've heard that the local council will be evicting the travellers and closing down the site,I can't confirm this but let's hope it's true.

Re: Cleeve Prior
Thanks.
I looked at the Coucil meeting minutes and it seems that the Council's travellers site will be closing in May 18. I can't find out anything about the adjoining private travellers site, apart from a press report of a Police raid in July, finding two stolen motor bikes, two stolen caravans and a cannabis farm. And they arrested someone on suspicion of burglary. Nice people, then.
I asked locally and it seems that the traveller kids think Stubbs Pool is their swimming pool and disrupt fishing there. I was advised not to go down there again on my own.
Sad situation.

Re: Cleeve Prior
i had trouble with these people on a visit to marlcliff. i had equipment stolen and was then almost pushed in to the boat lock when leaving. called police as they were jumping in the lock and ramming the lock with a quadbike. police promised to visit but nothing happened for obvious reasons that these people are above the law. i wont be going again but its no lose as this stretch has been ruined by all the trees being cut down leaving the bank bare and barbel no longer holding up.
