Re: Old Blokes falling Over

A pair of wellies with a good deep tread and room for 2 pairs of socks. I also wear waterproof over trousers to stop rainwater filling them.
Buoyancy aids are a step too far for me and as I have had to drag myself out of the Teme more than once I completely agree with Peachy on leaving dangerous pegs alone especially when there is extra water on. Stay safe guys.

Re: Wow!!!

Signal crayfish are well established in the Barford AA waters just above Wasperton.
As you say they pick at stationary baits and sometimes they hang on when reeled in. I wonder if our eastern european friends friends would like to try them as they eat everything else they take from the waters. Just a thought.

Re: Any ideas?

i fished at Barford which is just above Wasperton on opening day and while talking to another fisherman saw him bring a Signal crayfish to the side before it dropped off. He said he was being constantly hitting false bites while fishing large baits.
These crayfish are a menace to any fishery and a complete nuisance when fishing static baits.

Re: The Latest News = May Upper Severn Report & Photos of the Strimming at Aberbechan

As a fishing veteran who has fished BAA waters since the early seventies when all we had to find venues was a rudimentary map in the BAA booklet I am amazed by the new technology.
The fact that now practically all of us would feel lost if we forgot to take our smart phones with us means that we could take 5 minutes out of several hours of fishing to post or record some views on the venue we are fishing. This is something the younger generation do everywhere they go as a matter of course and would maybe help me and other members to make more of some of the great venues available.
Perhaps there is someone at BAA head office who could start by setting up a new heading on the forum or get some advice from members a lot younger than me.
I am just about to sort out the river tackle for my June 16th trip to the Avon. Tight lines everyone.

Re: River Severn Temperatures

Look on facebook for Severn Anglers. Phil O'callaghan does a daily post with water temperature and levels around Shrewsbury. Very useful.
