Re: What is happening to Apley?

Thank you Fishychris for that info!
It's strange though!
When I started this thread about three weeks ago, there were no sheep in the field, nor had there been for quite some time.
In fact it was a hay meadow with the grass about 16 inches long.
We have never seen any sign of sheep in all the years we have been going to Apley.
This of course can be down to timing, sometimes they are there sometimes they are not!
The one guarantee you have when you use a trolley is that if it is present, sheep and or cow shite will collect on the tyres.
This is something we have never had happen at the Apley meadows we have visited!
Are we talking about the same access?

stew83mul.

I have never known that gate to be open and have always had to climb over the gate. Another problem is the gate being left open which I have come across on other fisheries with our locks on. With it being so close to the road it would be absolute carnage if the sheep all got out there.


I think you have the wrong venue or access.

I have never seen any sheep or cattle in this field and all the years I have been fishing it, the gate has NEVER BEEN LOCKED.

As for the fishing, we float fished for four hours and put a small feeder on for the last hour.

I have only once before been there when it has been so poor.

What is happening to Apley?

Two of us decided to visit Apley last week
When we got to the first roadside carpark we had a nasty surprise!
The gate was chained and the style was obstructed by large logs, which had obviously been put there on purpose to hinder anyone climbing over it.
As two eighty year old codgers, we have always in recent years used this car park.
The top car park is a much tougher, rough track access with high banks in that field, down to the pegs and a long walk to the bottom field where the pegs become easier to climb down and more importantly, climb back up again.
We had to get all our tackle including heavy electric trollies and our aging creaking bodies over a five foot high gate.
Surely this is an ideal situation where if the farmer wants to keep the gate locked, there should be a BAA combination lock alongside the farmers lock on the same chain?
By the way, the fishing was crap.
Five bleak, two dace and one 3lb chubb between us.
If things carry on like this with more venues becoming really difficult to access, I think our days are numbered as BAA members.
Such a shame after nearly seventy years as loyal and mainly happy to follow-the-rules members.

Re: CLUB MATCH STAFFS. / WORC. CANAL

It is the club's choice if they want to send in their results!

We are not yet a police state and long may it last!
