Re: Up to date river pollution levels Warwick/Stratford area. The Warwickshire Avon is becoming choked with weed due to the high level of nutrients from sewage. Treated sewage and raw sewage is high in Phosphate and this has been a problem for a decade or more. The weed growth in the last couple of seasons is a major concern and the growth acts like a filter becoming black with the pollution. Next time down the river check out the filthy black weed in the margins. Posted on October 01, 2023 at 5:18 PM
GirlingAS match at Pershore RB 24/6/2023 We had a good match at Pershore RB in the scorching heat everyone caught. 1)Keith Kite had 9 Bream for 42lb from above the bay, GB feeder & dead reds 2)Andy Hammerton had 15lb of Roach on Tares from the first meadow. 3)H. Potter had 11lb of Bream from the end but one peg. A Superb Venue. Posted on June 26, 2023 at 8:47 AM
Increased Security at Fladbury Just noticed John's post dated 22nd July concerning additional security at Fladbury Weir. Girling Angling Society (opposite bank) welcome these extra measures which we feel has been needed for some time. I am aware that there has been concern for some time in the village, lets hope that the addition security measures are effective and there are no more incidents to raise further concern. Lets all enjoy our fishing and leave no signs of our visit. Posted on August 03, 2022 at 8:25 AM
BBC article - EA wants jail for polluting water bosses. Just read an interesting article on the BBC news app. where the Environmental Agency wants Jail for polluting water company bosses. The article goes on to say that the Environmental Agency, OFWAT (the industry regulator) and DEFRA are all being investigated by the new industry watchdog "The Office for Environment Protection" for failing to regulate sewage releases. The article says that sewage was discharged into rivers 400,000 times in 2020. The Rivers Trust says that "regulators have been turning a blind eye". Posted on July 14, 2022 at 7:45 PM
GirlingAS Match 2/7/22 at Fladbury LB, opposite BAA Fladbury RB. Our second match of the season gave further encouragement that the fishing has improved since the dire results of the last 5 months of last season. Although the Phosphate level remains extremely high and the river low and clear the river fished well. We had 13 out. Keith - Peg 11 - 11-6-0 of qty Roach on pellet best 1-10-0. Brian - Peg 4 - 9-6-0 Chub on maggot over ground bait Frank (Peg 24) and Steve (Peg 21) - 6-5-0 joint third. The winning catch was exceptional, a beautiful bag of quality Roach all caught on Pellet. Best 1-10-0 with several around three quarters of a pound and all in superb condition. An excellent match with lots of banter despite the rain. Posted on July 03, 2022 at 9:01 AM
