Re bream weights at Wood Norton. It looks like there should be good catches there, it's quite wide slow and deep. I haven't fished there enough to give a good judgement but will try it more this season.
Parking and access is good but easy to drive straight past as the access gate is set back in the hedgerows and you are on it before you know it though there is a BAA sign. It's a short easy walk to the bank, about 100 yds, and as I go weekdays usually have it to myself. A shame more clubs don't give match reports, it helps get a better picture of the various venues.
Anyone want to give it a try, on the A44 from Evesham direction look for Lower Farm on your right, it has a brick wall, BAA access is almost opposite on your left, if you miss it it is not easy to turn back for a while and it's a busy road.

Never know what to expect here, went first day of the season and had a couple of eels and a perch, apart from that not a bite. Went again this Monday and had a mixed bag of perch, chub, roach and the inevitable couple of eels, not a great weight in total but not a bad day. Loads of bites to the point of frustration in not hooking them, nearly all taken on worms. Also one bite on a second rod with halibut pellet, probably a barbel, a right wrap round of a take, went like a train and escaped.
Also went to Wood Norton on Thursday, small perch, a couple of small roach and a bream around 4lb. Again not too bad a day. That's what rivers are all about, you never know what might happen. I love it. I fish Fladbury fairly often and it seems a sort of all or nothing place.

Summer evenings are upon us. When I just wanted a few hours sometimes on a nice evening my wife liked to bring a chair and newspaper and sit while I fished. Am I right in thinking the BAA some time ago said you can't do this, basically if you aren't a member, bugger off. There is nothing I can see in the bye laws about this, I wouldn't want a load of screaming kids running about, but to take the missus along for a couple of hours or one non fishing person, maybe a potential member seems reasonable. Obviously if you are on the canal or somewhere like Marlcliffe you are on a public right of way so anyone can be there. She used to come to Coppice sometimes. I know it has not got a lot to do with fishing generally but it seems really petty and niggles me to say the least. Gripe over.  PS some of you go to get away from the wife no doubt.
