Re: Newhalls access The club that turned up and found the parking by the leisure centre all blocked off came to an arrangement with a nearby pub, where they parked in the pub car park provided they brought a drink in the pub after the match, they were the club that let us know about the loss of parking. We have no such arrangement so can't advertise it, as a result it is currently down to anglers to arrange parking as best they can. Posted on October 09, 2016 at 1:48 PM

Re: Teme Heaven We have spend considerable time and money getting the dumped rubbish removed from Cotheridge and have left the fishery closed to make sure it did not start again. In the mean time the access lane is being blocked by Gypsies who have camped at the bottom of it. We have the right of access down the access lane to our car park what ever the gypsies might say (it's in our deeds), the issue is being dealt with. I will post a news item on the home page when resolved and the fishery re-opened. Posted on October 06, 2016 at 10:20 AM
Re: Himalayan Balsam As has been said already on this conversation, balsam is endemic on the Severn, Teme and Wye and spreading along the Avon so it is beyond the capabilities of the BAA Fisheries to eradicate it. As part of our summer cut-back, balsam is strimmed along with other vegetation around our river pegs but not removed from the whole fishery. This would not be effective as has already been said balsam seeds are propagated explosively from the plants so the bank would be reseeded with seeds floating downstream. It's something we have to live with. Posted on October 06, 2016 at 10:12 AM
Re: Teme Heaven Good to hear that people are catching fish on the Teme, as when we (the Fisheries Team) visit the river to work on it we see very few fish. Re' the suggestion to install metal ladders down to the rivers edge where the banks are steep (which is a lot of the river), this would not be a practical solution as the banks suffer significant erosion every year due to the high floods which are a feature of the Teme. We create/clean up a number of pegs at our Teme locations every year, cutting out steps, cutting back the trees etc, but it is an ongoing battle. We have also been told by anglers on the Teme when we have been working there to leave it wild because that is how they like it. So we cut out a number of pegs, but there is plenty of wild river remaining. Posted on September 30, 2016 at 11:07 AM
