Re: Teme Heaven

The only barbel I've had from the Teme was about six inches long when trotting for dace and grayling - but this is a good sign for the future if there are small ones around. I've seen a few good ones when up at Eastham trout fishing in the close season. I think the Teme is a wonderful river, offering wild and challenging fishing. I just wish there was a bit more access... the West Country Angling Trust have installed metal ladders to get you down to water level at some of their beats, perhaps that's something BAA could consider doing every few hundred yards or so...?

Re: Nonsense weights of barbel on this forum

Unhooking mats should be compulsory for any fish that needs to be laid down - carp, barbel, pike, zander, bream, chub, tench, whatever. Practising good fish care means conservation of healthy stocks and is a no-brainer in my book. So is taking home rubbish. The amount of discarded line I removed from the peg I fished at Fladbury earlier this week was nothing short of scandalous. Exaggerated weights, poor fish care and rubbish all over the place... no wonder anglers get a bad rep...

Re: Re River Lugg upper section near public house

If you fish the stretch at Moreton just watch out for the cows, they're a bit overly friendly. And don't be lulled into a false sense of security if you see them on the other side, they are perfectly capable of crossing the river at the shallow bit just above where the river divides.

(There are some cracking trout in that stretch by the way)
