And then the summer sun shines, the rivers sparkle and we dust off our Barbel rods again…….😂😂😂

I have never had a dedicated’ fishing wagon’, just drove whatever I was using daily at the time. Once when my Honda Accord Estate was being repaired I used my wife’s Ford Ka to transport me to the Teme. Now , that was a bit of a tight fit! My Toyota Avensis Estate was probably the most...

Hi Paul, I am in exactly the same position as you ( even down to the Knee replacement! ) . I will surely have the occasional session but ( like yourself ) I am content to have enjoyed the great experiences of the past. Good luck in all you do in the future. G.T.

My daughters diesel Juke was bought new but spent most of its life back being repaired at the garage. I realise this could be a ‘one off’, but the after sales service was poor also. Good luck.

It’s either buy this or pay my electric bill….get the glasses out me ducks…..

Yes Cliff, such a shame that this stretch of the river will never be the same. Luckily I was able to fish it at it’s best. In truth I realised that this small piece of heaven was unlikely to last forever and I made the most of my time on the river. I still miss those days though, never to be...

Cotheridge on the river Teme in the 90’s. Favourite swim? Any of them! If only you could turn back the clock ,eh…….. G.T.

Well Haydn, nice to start off with a tiddler…..😱🦈🥰, G.T.

Yes Graham, hard to understand but I’m sure I was writing about this phenomenon on the L.S. 30 years ago. An ‘upstream’ wind was the kiss of death for fishing for all species there. The only reason that I didn’t simply get back in the car ( and drive home) was that I had just driven 40 miles to...

Yes, a double figure otter can put up a hell of a fight…..

Chinese COVID warbler ?????

Green woodpecker maybe?

Complete waste of money to introduce fry into rivers that are routinely polluted. G.T.

The bottom photo looks like a painting, very atmospheric. Regards, G.T.

Wow, welcome to QAnon in ‘ Gone Fishing’…🤦‍♂️

Agreed Mark, but just occasionally that ‘sixth’ sense won’t allow you to move. A few years ago I was fishing the Warks. Avon in late Autumn. It had been a sunny cloudless day and as I arrived at the river the temperature was plummeting. Even a brisk walk did not warm me and I considered going...

13.8 from the Teme. 14.03.00. I can still remember the moment when I brought the fish to the surface in mid- river as she fought my line and the strong current. My heart momentarily stopped and my legs turned to jelly. As Wilson would say ‘magic’. G.T.

Easy, Cotheridge in the 90’s. A little bit of piscatorial heaven.

A couple of crackers there Julian. Either would stand framing, well done. G.T.
