Birmingham Anglers Association

It has taken me over a week to successfully log on I just wanted to comment that the local rag had an article re; sewage dumping in the upper Avon. It states that their were 980 dumps into the river in 2022 totalling 5717 hours also 210 dumps into the Leam (910 hours). They say that averages as 2.7 discharges per day. It does not mention what was dumped into the Finham brook or the Dene or Sowe. Totally amazed that anything at all is alive in the Avon. Utterly disgracefull. Later on in June I went to Saxon Mill weir with the better half and took photos of the effluent foam cascading down the river. I had not fished there for quite a while and thought I had been transported back to the foam years of the 60's. One of the local staff said it had been like that for several years.
