Bought 12 bright green neoprene ones on eBay for £8.50. Work fine.👍 G.T.

I had one or two issues over the years and finally decided to just go fishing and pretty much ignore things that annoyed me. It’s the only way to ‘ beat the system’, I guess. G.T.

Hi Mark, I haven’t fished here enough recently to judge the returns but it’s a sad reflection on the river if you can’t catch here. I used to return here for a ‘ confidence booster’ if I was struggling elsewhere. G.T.

No thanks, damaged my ‘ undertray’ at Grimley even when I was taking care……it hasn’t been touched in over 20 years of ‘ traffic’ as far as I can see. I imagine a 4 x 4 would be okay but I can only imagine ‘ er indoors’ reply if I insisted my Audi had to be changed simply to accommodate the BAA...

Let’s hope whoever is leading the BAA now will listen to its members and will make a start by improving the access tracks to some of its waters. I had problems at both Marlcliff and Grimley where deep ruts in the access tracks have not been repaired in years. G.T.

I use a ‘ pro performance hook wallet’ . It must be 25 years old and is as good as new ( ish ). Does what it says on the tin ( wallet🤭). Happy New Year all.👍

Back then ,in this area , it was unusual to catch anything under 8lb. Happy days, G.T.

Cotheridge wildlife…….. It was a lovely summers day on the River Teme when looking over my shoulder I was startled by the sight of young ( ish ) man striding along the bank in only his underpants!. Without so much as a ‘ how do you do’ he sat next to me and staring across the river echoed those...

I use a uni knot to attach swivels …..never had a problem, just make sure you wet it. G.T.

Well done Tom. Weirdly I have driven away from some blank sessions making plans already for my next trip when I will certainly ‘ empty the river’. G.T.

Yes ‘stand your ground’ last uttered in anger at The Little Big Horn river 25th of June 1876……..‘Custers last stand’. ( It didn’t work then either……)🤔 Anon.

Don’t worry, old flip flop is on the case……😵‍💫

Has EA ever restocked the Teme with Barbel? It is obviously a low density Barbel river now. I was wondering if this might revitalise the river? G.T. .

And just as deadly…. I’ll get me coat……😉 G.T.

Then there is the government who promise 11/2 million new houses without explaining how much they will spend on new water treatment plants to deal with the extra sewage………( and , yes, I know they ALL do this). G.T.
