Hi Guys
Last Autumn I spent a few days looking for fishable pegs on the Teme without much luck. It's a real shame that this superb River is mostly inaccessible.
Is there anyone out there that knows where I can fish the BAA stretches without taking the contents of my garden shed.
Somewhere I heard that the pegs at Lindridge at been sorted, is that correct.

Hi Guys
I started this post the 14th November after a month of poor returns, back then Glyn measured 0.82 Phosphate saying that 0.03 was the norm. The E.A stated that 0.1 is regularly measured at Jubilee Bridge Fladbury.
Glyn has been back Sunday 30th of January and measured 0.92 Phosphate, that's over three months with catastrophic levels of Phosphate, now nine times greater than the norm.
Throughout this time GirlingAS Members have regularly test fished the stretch and blanked.
We know that downstream Pershore is fishing normally and one of our guys had 15lb of Roach yesterday in upstream Evesham, so it's clearly a local issue.
We have been informed by the E.A that they are involved with a sewage system installation half a mile upstream which is nearing completion.
I want to thank all of the interested parties that have contributed to this thread but for all of the comments it appears that we are helpless.
We have tried to get help from the E.A, the Angling Trust and the BAA without success. Our stretch of the Warwickshire Avon at Fladbury is being destroyed and it seems we have to watch it happen.

Yes John, Phosphate washes of the fields in times of bad weather but that has been true for decades. What's happening at Fladbury represents a step change and we have evidence of an E.A issue which they failed to contain. 5 matches at Fladbury have blanked, how much evidence do you need.
The Angling Trust rely upon Government funding and they are in bed with the E.A. I have asked the Angling Trust to explain their plans to turn this national travesty around and await their response. The Angling trust are very keen to let us all know how well they are doing in encouraging angling etc, but if they continue do nothing natural fisheries will die. I fear that this issue is too big for even the Angling Trust to turn around.
Denying there is an issue is actually part of the problem, does the BAA not realise that their assets are reducing in value. As the Midlands largest Angling Association isn't it time the BAA took the lead and represented the Association and there memberships best interests.

Hi Guys, I think we have got to the bottom of it.
The E.A called me to discuss our Phosphate measurements take by Glyn Marshall (Worc. AA).
Note;- Glyn measured 0.87 at Jubilee Bridge and quoted 0.03 as the norm.
In conversation with the E.A I mentioned that there are 8 outfalls between Evesham and Fladbury with no data for the 6 private outfalls, She added that a Phosphate level of 0.1 is typical at Jubilee Bridge and they plan to take more measurements.
I pointed out that there has been a retirement complex built in Wood Norton in the last couple of years, that's a couple of miles upstream of Fladbury . The caller said that the complex is currently installing a new sewage system implying that the E.A knew there was a problem.
This is substantiated by a Fladbury Councillor who knew about the issue saying that raw sewage from the retirement complex has been pouring into the Avon for weeks.
My view is if the E.A new of the problem why did they not come up with a contingency plan, why sit back and let it happen?

I'm encouraged by a Girling member to add that there are 8 sewage inlets between Evesham and Fladbury, 2 are water authority the others are private.
The two water authority inlets pumped raw sewage into the river for 511 hours in 2020, there is no data for the 6 private sewage inlets???
Makes you wonder if there is any control at all.
