Re: lindridge, eardiston access

This can be frustrating, always a good idea to check the BAA work plan on the web site to see what work has been done if going anywhere that may be a challenge. I seem to remember in one BAA handbook, not sure about the current one, some stretches of the Teme described as for the '' intrepid angler '', which I would interpret as nigh on impossible, but as they have commented in the past, they try to cater for everyone Of course if you haven't seen a place before it is a gamble anyway.

But also it does seem that it is money not best spent to be paying to rent a stretch that has very few or at times no fishable pegs, on the odd time or two I have fished the Teme pegs have been at a premium, and of course it is wasted money if you have a long journey and find you can't fish.

Nevertheless the BAA does offer tremendous value, though I am lucky in having the Avon within 15 to 20 minutes. Wish they could get some River Arrow, a good stretch with easy parking ? Some nice chub and barbel in there.

Re: Above or below ?

Agreed, I always thought below the bridge would be downstream. seems obvious to me.

Re: River Levels

Came over the Avon at Evesham yesterday [ Parks Farm ] and it was looking ok. Looked at Bidford on the Farsons Digital Web Cam site today [ real time video ] again the Avon, it was up but ok,certainly fishable, not bad at all really. It can of course rise quickly. Will probably do Marlcliffe or Fladbury over the next 3 days, it's wide and fairly deep so should take the water and the rain is decreasing over the next few days. Just glad to get back on a river......The Farsons site is very useful, having a number of cameras at various points on the Severn and Avon among others, I use it a lot if rivers are likely to be very high, saves a wasted journey.

Re: Are there any clubs I can join to fish BAA waters?

My previous post didn't really answer your question. I think what you were asking is 'are there any clubs affiliated to the BAA'...None as far as I know. Cheers.

Re: Are there any clubs I can join to fish BAA waters?

Steve, a bit late replying with my two-pennyworth but if you are a BAA member the world's your oyster for choice of water as you know. I joined a couple of local clubs, Wixford and Studley, [£12/£15 or so membership, pensioners rate, cheap as chips] both have stretches of the Arrow if that's near you, with good fish in there as well, but I still found myself doing BAA water nearly all the time so haven't renewed this year, even though the Arrow is on my doorstep.

As for bait and techniques I make no apologies for being old school and I would say fish how you used to, tweek it here and there with some of the new stuff about, some of it is useful, each to their own but you can't beat simple I think. I have yet to be convinced that half the tackle shop in your kit produces a markedly improved catch if at all. At the end of the day you only need three things, hungry fish in your swim, something they want to eat on your hook and a bit of common sense. Loads of stuff on YouTube. Roll on June 16th.
