River Teme at Bransford Bridge

A beautiful, peaceful half-mile of the River Teme at Bransford Bridge, run by Wards 84 Angling Club. There are around 17 pegs across two well-tended fields, with barbel, specimen chub and plenty of classic Teme species to go at.

The lowdown

  • This is the left-hand bank upstream from Bransford Bridge, near The Fox Inn. The club gives the grid reference as SO 804 532.
  • It’s a proper rural bit of river, peaceful and packed with wildlife. Otters and kingfishers are part of the scenery, which is always a cracking sign.
  • There are approximately 17 pegs, spread across two fields. The fields are regularly tended, so access is kept in good nick.
  • Barbel are present, including fish to double figures, while specimen chub give the crease a bit of extra spice. Dace, bream, grayling and trout add plenty of variety.
  • You can also find occasional perch, plus salmon, pike and the odd stray carp. A proper mixed bag, then — you never quite know what might pick up.
  • At around 0.4 metres on the EA gauge, all pegs are available. From 0.4 to 0.7 metres, the river-level platforms and cut steps remain accessible.
  • Once the level pushes above 1 metre, some platforms may be submerged. Above 1.5 metres, almost all the river-level platforms may be under water, so check the Bransford levels first.
  • The river sits within the Teme SSSI designation, and the club provides a link to Bransford River Teme water levels. Handy before setting off, especially after rain.
  • With barbel and chub on the cards, feeder work or trotting should suit the flow. Keep an eye on the creases, steadier glides and any deeper-looking water around the pegs.

Methods: Trotting for dace, grayling and chub should be well worth a look, while a feeder approach gives you a chance of barbel, bream and the bigger chub. Keep things tidy and adapt to the river level.
