Hi Guy’s, Excuse my ignorance but is fishing the Teme for Barbel these days a realistic proposition? Not discounting it would still be a lovely place to fish in any case? G.T.

Hi Guys, A happy and Healthy New Year to all,👍 last close season I scouted out several areas to fish that accommodated my ‘special needs’….short walks, safe banks, night fishing, quiet and barbel present! I didn’t fish once last season as a series ‘issues’ afflicted myself and ‘er indoors’. This...

Sorry to report the last known Sturgeon has now disappeared from Scotland. Very sad. G.T.

Hi, as this found been found in sewerage in London does this mean it is already in the Thames? G.T.

Walking past a canal in Digbeth ( Birmingham city centre ) I could not resist looking over a bridge and gazing into the water. The first thing that surprised me was that the canal was alive with small roach. Then a Ghost carp of about 5 lb swam beneath me! How on earth can a Ghost carp be found...

Hi Guys, Came across this video on YouTube. This must have been recorded at least 30 years ago ( probably longer ). I don't mind admitting that this brought a lump to my throat as this is a 'snap shot in time 'of another age when the river was simply 'teeming' with fish. Not a 'how to catch...

Hi Guys, Any recommendations for the above please, Regards, G.T.

HI Guys, Many years ago I caught a rather 'special' barbel from the river Teme. At 13-08 this was the fish of my dreams. That fish will always be 'special' to me but just how special was that fish? Would it feature in a Teme top 20 or even top 50. Just a thought, does anybody on this site keep...

Hi Guy's, I have noticed a few uncomplimentary comments concerning the current crop of T.V. presenters ( Danny Fairbrass and Matt Hayes to name but two ). Who do you rate and why? Regards, Graham.

Hi Guy,s, To quote Jim Royle 'my ar*e'.:eek: I was never a believer my self....far too old to be taken in by a load of self appointed 'experts'. What do you think? Regards, G.T.

Hi Guys, Will this have an impact on your fishing? Normally we just grin and bare it don't we chaps, but its getting silly now.£100 :eek:to fill up with diesel isn't far away,what then? Regards, Graham.

Hi Guys, I've never fished the Thames before but intend to give it a go before the end of the season. Looking for any advice really but would appreciate; The best club book to buy, better venues to try my luck for bigger than average Chub, best tackle shop to visit for cards and...

Hi Guys, Just started using these hooks that I bought on-line from bfw. Had one straighten on me yesterday after (what I would describe ) as only putting ' moderate' pressure on the tackle when I was snagged. Not complaining as I might just have been unlucky.... but I have binned the...

Hi Guys, I've been fishing the Warwickshire Avon for years now but have never caught a Chub over 5lbs. At what weight would you consider a 'specimen' W/A Chub to be? Regards, Graham.

Hi Guys, Will the ever spiralling costs of fuel dictate how far or how many trips you will make this season? 20 years ago I would sometimes clock up 200 miles a week travelling to and from the rivers Severn and Teme, I wouldn't contemplate that now. At that time I would share costs...
