Re: The River Teme and the introduction of OttersI like you Temester fished the Teme from the late 1970s. Back then it seemed the fishing was hard, with a mixed bag of fish up to 20Ib a good catch. Grayling, dace, trout, chub, salmon parr and massive gudgeon (No they were not small barbel....) We caught our first Teme barbel in 1979/80 . In 1982 it seemed the river stocks altered over the term of a year with us taking large catches of barbel up to 9Ib, chub, bream up to 6Ib + roach over 2Ib.Large salmon regularly showed themselves. The river suddenly became alive with fish along the Eardiston to Eastham stretches. I suppose one logical thought is these fish migrated on mass from the Severn to create a sudden boom. This continued for some years. Vital bankside habitat was lost in mid 80s at Eardiston. I see there is a great photo of some young lads fishing at Eardiston with a nice catch of trout, grayling, dace and chub.....similar to me and my catches from the seventies. The cyclical nature of a river and angling itself perhaps?

Re: Nordley PoolsI heard bad reports and no fish, so went in the evening, to pool 3 I think, floating bread in snags for carp to 5/6Ib. Didn't fish to seriously and had a few fish. Quite a few fish feeding on bottom showing bubbles. Bigger fish to be had I reckon, evening best , from years ago chap used to go down there, floating bread in the last hour or two of light for carp up to/over 15Ib. Be interested to hear how you get on.

Re: Lindridge, EardistonSorry for late reply to your post. Always found the lower stretch/second meadow best at Eardiston. Fished it last 2 years dace with odd bream and chub on float. The peg right at the end where the brook comes in used to be excellent, bait dropper one rod length out then trotting through with float for barbel, but have not fished this for some time. Lindridge on the float for grayling, small trout and dace but found it slow going. Best roving tactics now I think. Be interested to hear how you get on, lovely place to be either way...
