Re: What can people tell me about the fishing at 'Fladbury Below' please?

Mork - two meadows, the upstream is shallower and pacier than the one downstream. There's a peg, maybe two, directly below the bridge, but then a section of river where there's lots of cabbages and lilies close in due to the shallow nature of the river; there'll be fish there, but almost impossible to fish.

It becomes fishable again halfway down the first field, where the pace slows down as it approaches the second field, which is deeper and slower. Barbel can be, and are caught anywhere along the stretch. People will probably tell you that the very last, downstream peg is best, and it is good, but only produces more barbel because more people fish it. It did a 14.1 barbel last season, and it's done a chub of 6.10 also. The other species are also present, roach, chub, and there's no shortage of pike either.

Found items at Fladbury 14th March

If anyone is missing a couple of items of gear (if they're yours you'll know what they are), then drop me a line on here. I found them below the bridge today, in the car park area, looks like someone loaded their tackle in the car and left them.

Re: Pershore, screwed?

Also, I have no idea why this thread has changed into a climate change discussion, when all 1LC was the disaster that is the hydroscrew at Pershore. We may need 'green energy', but not at the expense of a natural environment such as at Pershore.

Anyone that agrees with hydroscheme at Pershore on the grounds of it 'being green' is an idiot.

Re: Pershore, screwed?

The Sun is the same size as it was billions of years ago, and still has another 5 billion years or so before it runs out of fuel and swells. To blame the Sun for global warming is nonsense, and any changes in size would take a lot longer than the 100 years or so that the human race has been aware that things are warming up. Carbon dioxide is the main reason, just like Venus, but on a much smaller scale.

Re: Angling Trust "Water Quality Monitoring Network"

One solution to the problem, Would be to nationalise the water companys and take them back into public ownership and stop paying millions of pounds in share holder dividends and instead spend the money on cleaning up our rivers.

Its never going to happen while Boris and his party gate chums remain in power.
