Re: Chub feeding on Blackcurrants - Countryfile - Episode - Wild Britain We used to catch Chub on elderberries on the Teme below Tenbury usually in September. That was when it was full of them. Very few Chub left to go for now although the Dace are starting to recover which is a welcome sign. Posted on October 27, 2021 at 8:24 AM
Re: Marlcliff. It looks as if some of the work is being contracted out. I bumped into a couple of young guys at Arley in June who had been working on the right bank upstream of the footbridge and seemed to say that they would be doing quite a lot for BAA. They were only armed with strimmers so not sure how big their remit is but any opening up of river swims is greatly appreciated. Posted on July 29, 2021 at 7:12 AM
Re: State Of The River Wye Rivercide Broadcast I wholeheartedly agree with your very well presented views. Nothing more to add except that every member should sign any petition that appears whether local or national and put pressure on MPs, water companies and agriculture. Myself and many friends have been astounded this year by the lack of butterflies, moths and all other insects. This affects fishing as well as other aspects of all our lives.

Re: Fladbury below bridge I regularly fish the Avon at Wasperton and Barford, Very often when the swim has warmed up and fish are feeding there will be a sudden lack of bites, The usual reason is that at least one pike has moved into the feed area to follow the fish. There are 2 choices when this happens. The first is to stop feeding for a while so that the fish move away and so do the pike, When this has happened I feed a different line to start fish feeding again, The other option is to move to a new swim which is why I take minimal tackle to this type of venue so that it is not too much trouble. On a recent Barford match one angler had 2 2lb bream snatched at the net and several people were bothered by pike as the Avon seems to be full of them at present. Posted on July 09, 2021 at 9:13 AM
Re: Grayling I have had a few this season from the Teme below Tenbury Wells. Level and temp about right at present. Best swims are steady, fairly shallow glides . Fish for 20 minutes and move on until you find them. I usually fish a six number four stick float with double maggot on 18 or 16 hook fished to drag along the bottom in current conditions. Should you be fortunate enough to catch one be very careful in handling and returning it, They fight until completely worn out and need to be unhooked gently and held facing upstream until they are strong enough to kick away. Best of luck and take care on the slippery banks, Best take a rope and spike. Posted on January 04, 2021 at 4:22 PM
