Re: Doddenham BAA fishing confusion

A response from someone at the BAA would be appreciated - thanks.

Re: Doddenham BAA fishing confusion

Went to Doddenham again on Saturday and fished this time. Attached is a photo of the sign in question - I don't remember seeing it last year.

Had a reasonable fly fishing session with a small brownie and a decent grayling on nymphs. Also tried with baits later and had a chub about 2 lb but no signs of barbel - suffice to say an otter rolled in front of me which can't have helped the fishing much.

Doddenham BAA fishing confusion

Hi All,
I'm confused. A couple of weeks ago I went to a stretch of the Teme I have been fly fishing for a couple of years now, which I thought was Knightwick but actually I think it might be Doddenham. Anyway, it was close season for coarse fish - I was fly fishing for brownies - and had to battle my way through the gate which was very overgrown. There are BAA Fishing signs on the gate. Got into all my clobber - waders etc and got to the river only to find a big sign on a tree saying "private fishing not BAA". So I packed up and went home, hot bothered and rather pissed off. Checking the website where to fish section we still have fishing at Doddenham, so now I'm confused. The coordinates for the entrance gate are 52°12'19.4"N 2°22'27.8"W - can anyone confirm that we can ignore the sign on the tree and if so why hasn't it been taken down by the BAA to avoid this confusion, as it spoilt that trip for me.
Thanks
Glen

Re: Fishing Reports - Upper Severn Report is Brilliant

I agree that Mike and Anne Wood are doing a great job for the BAA - always very helpful and friendly. They get to know their regulars and actively want to chat and find out how the fishing is going - in return I tell them what I have caught and send over pics. You can always call/text them in advance to find out what the river is doing and what's being caught before the long drive (for me anyway). It is two way thing. It would be much appreciated if we had the same excellent service from all bailiffs but I guess it comes down to individuals and how much effort they feel they can put into it given their own circumstances. But it is quite a contrast all the same. I can't recall a single other BAA bailiff who was willing to give me their mobile number and been friendly enough that I would actually feel comfortable calling or texting them like I do with Mike/Anne. Well done guys!

Re: River teme ox bow lake

I fished the Ox bow lake once a couple of years ago - the road was not great for my estate car - road is really rough and rutted. I fished for pike and caught a jack about 3 lbs. I have never been back - very overgrown so not user friendly at all. Think the BAA have pretty much written it off as inaccessible and not really worth fishing. Better off sticking to the main river in reality.
