River Teme, barbel

Is anyone catching barbel on the Teme this season or is it no longer worth the effort. I get the impression that the head of fish is much lower than previously, maybe I'm just talking to the wrong people.

Re: Foam on river

Foam on rivers is usually natural and caused by rotting matter. If you can scoop some up and smell it you can confirm this.

Foam is a natural phenomenon that occurs on
many lakes and streams. Foam is produced when
molecules such as fatty acids act as ‘surfactants’
interfering will the surface tension of water and
allowing air and water to mix more easily. These
molecules often float on the surface of the water
as a thin film. Turbulence from waves, currents
and wind cause the surfactant molecules to trap
small bubbles that make up the foam
.
