Tried a barbel fisher with some fava beans and nice chianti once - filthy, even the neighbours' cats wouldn't touch it...

I hate to tell you this Steve but the last time that fish was caught it died.
It was however very tasty cooked in foil with lemon herbs and butter on the last weekend of the season.
Waste not want not is my motto.
Odd how some folk on the Teme treat the indigenous residents - see Tom Rigby's posting about £50 buckets of garden fertilizer in Ludlow in a thread about the other, far older, side of the Teme - Struggling salmon in Teme - Fly Fishing Forums
The dreaded closed season is upon us
Out with the fly rods Crooky!

Nobody ever mentions the fact that Rainbow Trout and of course Carp are introduced species to the UK....too much moola involved in both species to organise a cull I'd imagine?

Rainbow trout are not usually fished for as catch and release, stocked, caught, knocked on the head and into the smoker they go( they don't spawn in UK waters other than the Derbyshire Wye). Happy to do the same with carp myself, but looking at the prices for carp in B'ham fish market it might push day ticket prices up some what at our local ponds.Nobody ever mentions the fact that Rainbow Trout and of course Carp are introduced species to the UK....too much moola involved in both species to organise a cull I'd imagine?

Rainbow trout ...( they don't spawn in UK waters other than the Derbyshire Wye).
trout farm at chenies, plenty of rainbows escaped into the chess, i had quite a few out, went back a few years latter and the wild browns had come back, no rainbows, even the graying returned, only small at the time, all caught from near chorleywood on red maggot and stick float.And in the Chess in the Chilterns (caught my first wild rainbow from the stream at Chorleywood at the age of nine, on fly) - when it had water in it.
