Situated
in
the
heart
of
the
Teme
valley
this
1
mile
long
stretch
offers
something
for
all
anglers.
Long
smooth
glides
give
way
to
fast
shallow
gravel
runs
that
then
drop
into
deep
moody
pools.
Static
fishing
to
build
up
a
swim
certainly
works
but
the
stretch
is
also
perfectly
suited
to
the
mobile
angler.
Wandering
around
looking
for
fish
and
dropping
baits
into
likely
spots
gets
the
best
out of this wonderful piece of river.
Barbel
are
present
and
certainly
earn
their
nickname
of
`Teme
Tigers`,
giving
a
superb
account
of
themselves
in
the
fast
flow.
When
found
they
respond
to
all
methods
though
the
Teme
favourite
of
trundling
meat
certainly
seems
to
be
irrestible
to
these fish.
There
are
plenty
of
chub
in
the
stretch
and
again,
these
fish
can
be
caught
on
a
variety
of
methods.
Large
fish
have
been
seen
in
Knightwick
and
the
mobile
angler
prepared
to
hunt
them
down
in
the
myriad
of
holes,
slacks
and
gaps
in
the
trees
could find themselves attached to the fish of a lifetime.
The
nature
of
the
river
is
ideal
for
game
fish
and
there
are
both
brown
trout
and
grayling
present.
With
the
Teme
being
quite
a
narrow
it
is
ideally
suited
to
long
trotting
tactics,
especially
with
a centrepin for that traditional touch.
Fly
fishing
for
the
trout
is
allowed
during
the
coarse
fishing
close season.
Access
is
good
with
parking
available
by
the
riverside
in
the
first field during dry weather.
