Stacklands Well ill start with an apology...sorry i caught loads of barbel at stacklands without a permit !!! I hadnt checked the website for months and only today noticed i needed to book a session here.....oops.... Saying that i arrived 5PM THURS meeting the farmer at the gate whod just cut back the grass nicely..had a good chat with him and parked up to find i had the whole place to myself...glorious evening...so good i put two rods out for a change, and had both rods go over on the first cast !!! Unbelievable...8lb and 9lb barbel...two small chub later a 10lb beauty and then two more around the 8lb mark...all fin perfect ...only stayed till 8.30 and had a chub on my last cast too..what a superb gorgeous stretch..ill ask for a permit next time ..sorry again...well not really!

Re: Stacklands - How is the Fishing? I've fished the end field where it's shallow and had 3 sometimes 4 large barbel and some decent chub.. Lots of streamer weed and shallow but fish galore! Not your thing I know but on the feeder with pellets .. I love the place .. Had it all to myself yesterday morning as the sun came up and burned the swirling mists off the water .. Was a magical sight ! Posted on October 13, 2015 at 7:32 PM
Re: Doddenham stretch on the Teme Well I thought I'd put my thoughts in ... I've fished here since we got the stretch.. I'm local so it's perfect for a 2 hr quick session after work etc.. So far fished 5 lovely pegs!!! Chub up to 4lb lots of smaller ones constantly nibbling.. And a few nice barbel.. The one I caught last week was 15 feet from the otter I'd been watching for 2 minutes nearly missing the rod going over!!!!! I like the fact it's natural overgrown as some say.. And not overfished .. I'm shooting myself in the foot I know as I'm sure the more people criticise a venue the less ppl come and so by saying its great it will get more attention. I will say this though.. The 2 " fishable" pegs spoken of seem to be getting used a lot and signs of bank damage by US THE ANGLERS are showing.. Within the last two weeks someone has taken a spade and for no reason dug a square hole and several steps into a very soft and crumbly bank!!!! No need at all!! This will erode the bank in winter badly and wash the peg away ... And to top it off last night I fished there to find an empty SPAM tin , razor sharp edges for our resident otter... Not pointing fingers but... C'mon you muppets stop pointing fingers and moaning .. It's us that have ruined the Teme!!!!! Posted on October 03, 2015 at 9:16 AM
