Re: Eardiston car park - tree downFound info about the fuel spill - it was near Tenbury which is upstream of Eardiston. As it was petrol (from an underground pertol station tank - I guess it would float and evaporate fairly quickly, hence doesn't seem to have done much damage. Certainly no dead fish seen by me at either Eastham Bridge or Eardiston on Saturday 3rd - thankfully.

Re: Eardiston car park - tree downThanks Craig. I did speak to Lukasz (bailiff) who said he would let you know as well.

Eardiston car park - tree downJust to warn others and maybe inform the working parties - there is a large tree down across the track on the loop back to the gate - if driving clockwise. I only discovered it after driving round on Saturday at the end of my session - very overgrown generally but then confronted by the tree I had to reverse all the way back round the track, going into the bushes a few times and the reversing indicators sounding constantly. Car paintwork is now somewhat scratched by this experience - will probably polish out I guess.

Re: No Upper Severn Report for September?I have always found the work done by Mike, Anne and the rest of the upper Severn team to be the best I have seen across the whole BAA. They set the bar very high in my opinion. Whenever I go to the upper Severn I know Mike will take my call, telling me where to fish for the best chances and often will meet me at the car park for a chat and catch-up. In return I send him pics and a few words of my catches, which have made it into his reports - these being very useful as well. Shame I haven't got up there much this year but let's face it the river has been on its bones all summer. But the banks were in fine fettle when I was there last - really looking smart.

Re: Salmon Spey Casting -WhereAs a keen salmon angler this one is close to my heart but does cause some frustrations as spey casting really needs lots of space and the freedom to walk downstream a few paces after each cast and there are few places on BAA rivers where you can do that without annoying barbel/silver anglers. I do fish for barbel as well btw. So I guess it depends if you just need to practice and don't really expect to catch, in which case you can stay in one spot. To be honest you have very low chances of a salmon on any BAA rivers unless you know the best spots and most of them don't have the space for a spey cast - upper Severn is probably your best chance but I have only ever managed a switch rod there - even then it is very tight. I fish Holt Fleet regularly and have often thought I could try there with a spey rod but in reality you will not often either have the right depth, suitable flow or the space there. Of course it is close season for salmon now on the Severn anyway - 17th on the Wye, so maybe fish a fly/bit of fluff without a hook if you don't want to get in trouble with the EA.
