Severn Stoke pegs Had a trudge up and down Severn Stoke yesterday, carpark downstream one meadow and about one and half meadows upstream opposite the red cliffs. There were only really two fishable pegs and they would need a bit of digging on the day! I’m hoping that a work party will very soon get down there??? The BAA does represent good value for money in terms of the amount of water they control but what is the point of having all that water when a certain percentage is literally unfishable, I know the work parties are volunteers so fair play to them. If the price doubled or trebled and the amount of stretches was reduced it wouldn’t bother me as the extra money would finance the upkeep and access of the pegs etc I know there will be lads on here who like the wild river roaming but then there are others who I’d think would be the majority who desire better pegs regardless of the walk. To me it’s a waste of money keeping a stretch if the association can’t afford the upkeep, there must be loads that no one even bothers with. Posted on June 25, 2019 at 1:10 PM
Night Fishing Is night fishing still permitted on the Knowle Sands sections? Posted on June 10, 2019 at 9:03 PM
Quatford access path Went down Quatford last Friday, the access path at the bottom of the steep hill by the caravan park is so overgrown it will soon be impassable! The Association really do need to send a working party down there. On the plus side I did winkle out a few barbs and a four pound plus chub. Posted on July 02, 2018 at 8:53 PM
Re: River Teme Not sure about the otter theory, Stanford Bridge was prolific before the floods. I have travelled that way regular for many years to just outside Hereford to maintain the High Pressure natural gas installation there and recall the massive expanse of water across the fields at that time. Chances are the fish were stranded once the waters receded and then were open game to the predators, the river came down with that much force it literally washed away the bridge between the two meadows where the small stream enters.,The HP gas pipeline from Hanbury to Hereford which goes under the team near Knightwick was left high and dry due to the bank erosion. Sadly I don't think it will ever be the same again. Posted on June 09, 2017 at 7:34 PM
River Teme Evening Gents, just wondering if any body bothers fishing the Teme for barbel these days? Haven't fished it myself since the great floods of 2007 which by all accounts decimated the barbel stock, as many of you will know it was a cracking barbel river on its day of which the BAA have some beautiful stretches. If people still fish for the silvers in there then fairplay but if the barbel stock is virtually non existent and no one is using the waters then may be the Association should relinquish control of the waters and use the extra funding to acquire new venues etc, any thoughts?
