How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When
Nymphing can work through most of the day.
Where
Cover mixed depths.
Method
Start with tight-line nymphs and adjust if fish rise or drift higher.
Kit
9 ft #4 rod, floating line, 12 ft tapered leader to 4–5 lb fluoro tippet.
Why this works
Water at 23.9°C. This is the line where catch-and-release kills brown trout. Do not fish for them today.

Newnham Farm — day ticket via Fishing PassportAccess varies
A two-mile stretch of single (left) bank fishing on the middle/lower Teme in Worcestershire — a mixed fishery, all-species day ticket at £21.
The Haven Fishery — day ticket via Fishing PassportAccess varies
About a mile of single-bank water on the middle Teme with 20–25 numbered swims, some with rope access down the steep banks.

What would change the calculation
Cooler water — back toward the 10–16 °C ideal band — would lift the score and ease welfare.
The dawn and dusk windows score higher than the midday lull.
Directions
Seasons & zones
- Salmon 2 February → 30 September
- Trout 15 March → 30 September
- Grayling 16 June → 14 March
Statutory window is 16 June – 14 March, but association water typically opens for grayling from 1 October. Check local club rules.
Legally open from 16 June, but access is typically sold from 1 October.
Prime sport 1 October → 28 February
Salmon: Negligible (2026) — Salmon present but at very low numbers and with habitat constraints. Limited rod fishery opportunity.
