Re: Leigh/Oxbow Thanks for the replies lads. I am really keen to try it out as it's just about the closest BAA water to my home. Did either of you fish the river itself or notice whether it could be? I think access has been changed in the last year or so and am also wondering why the BAA have said the water is 'no longer maintained' what does that even mean? Posted on August 12, 2015 at 8:42 PM
Re: River Teme, barbel Fish often have to be rescued by the EA etc from the upper reaches of the Teme. It makes me wonder in times of draught if fish migrate to areas that they know to carry more water - ie downstream. In the case of the Teme this would mean back down to the Severn at Worcester. Maybe when the levels rise and in times of flood the fish find their way back up the Teme? Posted on August 09, 2015 at 3:28 PM
Re: River Teme, barbel I have fished the Teme a fair few times this season and think that the low water levels are one of the reasons it's not fishing well. I'm sure when the levels are back up to more normal levels the barbel will be easier to catch. If, however, it's still fishing rock hard when there is another foot of water on it I will start to worry. Broadwas is particularly hard these days. Posted on August 08, 2015 at 8:18 PM
