My biggest chub I fished Pensham the other day (8th February) and caught my biggest ever chub. Been fishing for over 45 years and this is my biggest. Used a 3 gramme crowquill avon to size 22 barbess with 1.4 line and single bronze maggot. Took about 15 minutes to get it into the net. Absolutely chuffed to bits! The attached photo was the best I could do as I was on my own. Attachments: chub.pdf Posted on February 12, 2022 at 8:38 AM
Nafford directions For those that are interested, the normal route specified by BAA is not accessible due to ongoing roadworks. So I decided to go the back route, which is go through Pershore town and over the river. Take the right turning just after the bridge, as if you were going to Pensham, but do not take the Pensham turning. Carry on and follow the road and sign posts for Eckington. You will eventually come to a sign for Nafford and Eckington which leads to the BAA car park for Nafford. Not a difficult route to follow and hopefully is of use to someone. I should add that Nafford is still a jungle! Posted on September 02, 2021 at 5:50 PM
Re: Bidford left bank I have always parked at Marlcliff whether for a contest or individual fishing. The end pegs start right next to the car park If I was you though, I would ask your club secretary which one the draw takes place at. Posted on August 03, 2021 at 6:55 PM
Re: Nafford According to the BAA website work plan, there is nothing planned. This is such a shame, as Nafford and also Eckington are such wonderful stretches. I have been to both 3 times each, this season, and have had to clear pegs. This season I decided to take a machete with me, when fishing these venues. Needless to say, it came in very handy. It would seem that, looking at contest venues, they are taking priority over pleasure fishing locations. Maybe just my imagination, and not a grumble, as the match-fishing teams probably contribute more financially, than the individuals. I have nothing but admiration for the bank clearing crew, and would like to add a big thank you, for the clearing they have done recently, at Pensham. Posted on August 01, 2021 at 6:04 PM
Re: State Of The River Wye Rivercide Broadcast You will have to excuse me if I am completely on the wrong track, but.................... not all farms are situated by a river/stream/brook or whatever watercourse. Where I live, there are a number of farms with various sorts of livestock and not by any sort of waterway. What I would like to know is how do these farms dispose of the animal waste without incurring exorbitant costs? Presumably the farmers do not load it onto tankers and dump it into waterways. So, if a far few farms can dispose of the waste, without outpricing their goods in the market, why cannot farms situated riverside use the same means. I know I could be completely off track with this thought, as there may be some logical answer. Just trying to understand. Posted on July 28, 2021 at 7:26 PM
