Barbus 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Spent a warm weekend in worcestershire on a friends stretch of the River Teme. Roving tactics were the order of the day with mimimal tackle,PVA bags and Elips pellets. In between beer drinking,curry,and fry ups(all made in my fishing van)I ended up with 4 barbel and the biggest went to 10lb 4oz......well chuffed with that!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post

My bet is one of the Thames tribs to throw up one a 20lb plus next. Quote Link to post
mackem 27,515 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I live in a "..........On Thames" village,I heard of a guy getting a 15lb fish over a month ago,he has a weir-licence,gets him into otherwise inacessible places Quote Link to post
Barbus 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yep they are around mate...........15 lb plus is a huge fish but not an unrealistic target nowadays. Quote Link to post

I am trying the Wey, the sections controlled by FAS. According to the handbook there are grayling in there but who knows... I am having a minger of a season, but then everyone else that I speak to is struggling. How are you getting on at Bushey Park? Those were the days when I lived in Teddington Quote Link to post
