Re: Fladbury below bridge

OLC - which side of Bidford was the problem please?
I had it in mind to fish the right bank. The one with the weir, and if I remember correctly, many years ago the end downstream peg used to produce bags of barbel and chub.
However if this side of Bidford is completely overgrown, I think I'll give it a miss. Especially if the farmer has electrified the pegs (whatever that means).
If it's the left bank I would be amazed if the pegs were electrified, as surely the bankside along that stretch is common right of way. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it has been used as a pathway for at least 45 years that I know of.
Anyway. as it seems Bidford is a no go, I think I might give Evesham (Common Road) a try. Providing this old brain of mine can figure out how to open the gate - lol.
Any info on Common Road access would be appreciated by anyone.

Fladbury below bridge

Just a bit of info for those about to fish there.
I went today and fished 2 pegs below the bridge. There was a little bit on it (3 or 4 inches maybe)
and there was a nice bit of pace as well.
Stick float in about 6 foot of water, feeding maggots and pestered by baby bleak. I'd been loose feeding hemp and tares, so gave the tares a try. A bit slow at first, but after a little while the roach started to feed. Unfortunately after a couple of hours it completely died.
I had been feeding little and often, so I tried upping things, but all to no avail. Still plenty of bleak on the maggot though.
I just thought I would let anybody fishing it in the next day or so that might want to know what to expect - knowing fishing though, it will probably fish completely different.
Good luck to one and all.

Found at Pensham

Today (3rd July) I have found an unhooking mat in the car park.
If the owner can tell me what make and what attachment is on it, then they are more than welcome to collect it,
FYI it fished okay - plenty of really good conditioned Perch, a few roach and dace, but plagued by Jacks. All on the float and maggot.

Re: Eckington

The car park is on the opposite side of the river, and you need to walk across the bridge. BAA sins are on the gated entrance (no padlock).
Over the past 3 or 4 years I've fished both Eckington and Nafford about 40 times, and always had really good results on the float. They are both deep in most parts - 9 foot to 12 foot.
So far this season, I've fished each one once, and both have been hard work. Very poor compared to all the previous years. I caught a few in the first couple of hours and then it died off.
Peg-wise I had to chop one out at Nafford but at Eckington I was lucky enough to get one free of undergrwoth.
Hope this info helps.

Re: ARLEY L/B 4,5,6,

Thanks for posting these results. It's always nice to see The Travellers results, especially as there are a few names I recognise (presuming they are the same people of course!).
Dave Wright, Paul Fields and Ray Fisher - ex of The Highbury/Hazelwell/Ash Meadow and of course Jim Burton of Matchbox fame (not that I personally knew him).
If they are the same people it's nice to know that they are still match fishing after all these years. So good luck to them whatever.
Regards to all - keep on fishing.
