    Good evening gents, Where is the paper work for all this? Somebody has to have done the numerical modelling for them to come up with an exact figure of 1.5 metres up to Knightwick. It's done for all projects to find out hydraulic and geomorphological impacts......where is it? Someone has...

    Rich, please carefully read the last paragraph on my last post.

    Hiya Dave, I failed to convey my point correctly there...my apologies, sorry...I agree with your reply. However, for the greater good, I do still feel groups and individuals need to work together rather closely on this, no matter what their opinions are on each other. Well, as much as...

    I think this thread clearly highlights what the SRT are up against, or anyone that takes on the 'care for all' approach. There are those that try to manage an Eco-system, then there are those that are species specific conservationists. Who has the right to decide on the utopian balance? Until...

    'Anyway...removing the weir if done right, with gradual, meandering glides and diversions could add some new fresh spawning grounds into the Teme' Exactly Jason, the riffle and pool sequence is key to maintaining clean gravels! More clean gravels, more available places to succefully spawn...

    Best winter baits.

    Hiya Jon, Maggots and worm are my top scorer for winter when the river clears out a bit. Obviously when it's fills up it's usually back to a lump of flavoured meat with a very small stringer of freebies. You don't really want to be giving them much in the colder months which is where the...

    Hi Lawrence, Merely highlighting that Terry should keep an open mind regarding the SRT and its involvement with the Teme. The 'grumpy old men' comment was a general one! Look at the rest of the post...'possibly not a true view'. I'll leave it there. ***edit*** A little note on your incorrect...

    Forgot to mention, the Teme PHD project is giving out some very positive results already. Tight lines.

    The various trusts carry out fantastic work up and down the country Terry, I'm mainly fixated on barbel bothering and still fully support the SRT, not overly sure where the 'game fish only' thing comes from? Although, I did recently attend the Leaping Lights Salmon Festival in Newtown the other...

    Hiya Clive, The BS are currently working with the Bristol Avon Rivers Trust and also helping with the funding of habitat work. Detailed updates will be posted online and put in the newsletter as it unfolds. Terry! I'm pretty sure Catie would be happy to analyse the logs, could you please...

    The River Teme Barbel PHD Project.

    Then struggle we must. :) There are still quite a few spread around. Far from what is was though and the whole river can seem devoid of any fish at times. Hence the population study. If you've got any old catch logs then please take the time to input if you can. Every little helps :)

    End of an era or dawn for change?

    Hiya gents, Graham, as I mentioned on fishingmagic the other day, there will be an update soon regarding all this. That will include your pellet theory. Obviously it's not wise to say much more until the Society and scientist finalize everything and determine the correct, definite route. I'm...

    The River Teme Barbel PHD Project.

    Attention fellow anglers! I'm sure quite a few of you have had the pleasure of fishing the Teme over the years and still do so. Do you keep records or have any old ones tucked away in the loft? Could you help out if so? Anything caught over the next couple seasons would be great if you could...

    End of an era or dawn for change?

    Thought as much. Cheers for the reply Joe. That's not how things are run these days but hopefully you'll think about joining again someday in the not too distant future. All the best.

    Hiya Lee, It's all about how you spin it mate, I could counter your take on things all day long. Completely respect your views and observations....I'll just direct you back to my original reply. I beg to differ. I'm quite concerned with the amount of attention Steve gets from individuals on...
