Viewing 1 to (7 Total) Eardiston car park - tree down |

Just to warn others and maybe inform the working parties - there is a large tree down across the track on the loop back to the gate - if driving clockwise. I only discovered it after driving round on Saturday at the end of my session - very overgrown generally but then confronted by the tree I had to reverse all the way back round the track, going into the bushes a few times and the reversing indicators sounding constantly. Car paintwork is now somewhat scratched by this experience - will probably polish out I guess.
So if going down there currently don't attempt to drive round the loop until the tree is cleared.
Fishing wise - there was a good hatch of mayfly duns but not a single fish rising to them, which has always baffled me why this happens on the Teme. I did get a small out of season grayling on nymphs but no trout. I also saw a reasonable barbel in the shallows, which is encouraging.

Re: Eardiston car park - tree down
Sure I read somewhere about a fuel spillage on the Teme near Stanford Bridge, maybe this killed the rise??

Re: Eardiston car park - tree down
Thanks Craig. I did speak to Lukasz (bailiff) who said he would let you know as well.
First I've heard about a fuel spill but Stanford Bridge is downstream of Eardiston anyway, so that wouldn't explain it. Where was this reported - I'd be interested to know more. I watched some huge chub at the bridge at Bransford about a week ago - where I caught my pb of 5.25lbs a few years ago - so that far downstream doesn't seem to have affected that much of the river. Still a disaster though.
The non-rising brownies on the Teme is something I've noticed in previous years. They just seem to come to be caught at Eardiston on maggots by coarse anglers or on lures. They just don't see interested in the usual flies. Considering the food bonanza during mayfly hatches it seems very strange. Everything else, including the ducks, are eating them.

Re: Eardiston car park - tree down
Found info about the fuel spill - it was near Tenbury which is upstream of Eardiston. As it was petrol (from an underground pertol station tank - I guess it would float and evaporate fairly quickly, hence doesn't seem to have done much damage. Certainly no dead fish seen by me at either Eastham Bridge or Eardiston on Saturday 3rd - thankfully.

Re: Eardiston car park - tree down
Enjoyed some good days at Eardiston a few years back....about this time of year the run off from the mill was black with spawning chub and barbel. But we always left them alone to get on with their business.
Spotting a solitary barbel now is a cause for celebration...small steps though.

Re: Eardiston car park - tree down
The track was clear on the evening of the 4th June. Gate was unlocked though.
Similar fishing for me, plenty of fly life but no rising fish. I also tried at Lindridge with no success but access through the vegetation is athe issue there.
