Dave Mason- Teme Barbel and Conservation
Dave Mason- Barbel Society and Dave Mason Angling – presentation Severn Fisheries conference 19 November 2011
Unfortunately technical problems (the microphone was switched off!) means we don’t have a podcast for Dave’s presentation. However Dave has previously made some videos for the SRT that cover some of the issues he discussed
This one has a discussion on planting Ranunculus weed
Here’s a demonstration of fly life monitoring on Dave’s bit of the Teme
A video on tree management
Another video on weed planting
More videos will be made on these and other issues. We would encourage any clubs interested in doing such work on their own parts of the river to contact the SRT for assistance in drawing up plans, getting permissions and raising and accessing finance. Dave Mason is happy to personally talk to any clubs about the problems his group encountered along the way.

“Your River Needs You”
The Severn is the longest river in the UK. It is unique and this precious environment is under threat from pollution, abstraction, habitat destruction, water quality issues, climate change, etc. The Severn’s reputation as a fishery is unsurpassed and historically of great economic and recreational value.
We need your help to re-establish this great fishery.
The 1st Severn Fisheries Conference will be a major step forward in the road to recovery and return to former glory.
- Key Topics to Include:
- Decline of silver fish
- Water Framework Directive
- Predation
- Habitat Improvements
- Key speakers to include:The formal agenda will be circulated in the near future, but speakers who have already agreed to present include Dr. Mark Everard (Author of “The Complete Book of the Roach” and “Barbel River” to name but two of his books), Dafydd Evans (Area Manager – Environment Agency), Matt Haydon (Natural England), Trevor Harrop & Budgie Price (Avon Roach Project).
