Don't have any bang up to date info but there are a fair few small skimmers, plus the usual roach and perch, oh and the bream, yes the bream.
If you're lucky enough to be on them then everything is sorted match wise, apart from the fact that you have to catch them.
Water colour, as usual with these river bream makes a massive difference. A bit of colour in it and a rising or dropping river makes all the difference. it doesn't have to be dropping either, rising can be very good.
Until about three years ago, used to stay fairly regularly in a caravan at Twyning and on a Sunday morning often walked past the old BAA water at Twyning and all the way up into Tewkesbury past the Mythe farm section, if it had been raining a bit there was always an angler or two with rod bent over into a slab. If it was clear there wasn't. The difference was remarkable and quite predictable.
They're worth a try any time, but i wouldn't spend too much time waiting if fish aren't forthcoming.
It can be deep. Pole and/or feeder for smaller skimmers/perch/roach should get you some fish plus the odd eel down the shelf edges. That'd be the banker method for me this time of year, also trying feeder down the middle. Can be a few pike bite off's at times.
I've also caught roach on hemp, missing out on winning a club match after spending too long waiting for bream bream before going on the hemp line i'd been feeding, came second.
I've heard that around the marina entrances at the bottom end of Mythe can be very good.
Mainly small skimmers/roach/perch is what i'd expect Rick, sure you'll get the hang of it quickly.
Nice place.

I'll be in the minority here i'm sure, but I only fish with one rod as I can't see how I could cope with two fish on at once on my own.
It's bound to happen sometime.
If you're using a baitrunner, I didn't think there was that much control over the tension when it's in freespool mode, unlike with a normal clutch? Could be wrong.
If i'm in barbel territory, even with one rod and a non baitrunner, I set the clutch loose enough so it'll give line ...without the rod going over and in. Just in case i'm momentarily distracted.
