Warwickshire Avon

check out Bobs angling on youtube, catching Barbel on the float from a snaggy swim with a good pace of flow. Many an angler of the Carp variety should watch it to see how a real Angler can fish sucessfuly. Skill.

12lb line for trotting though ...

Think it might be 10 Barry (pedant alert). But what a great piece of skill, upper reaches I think Manor?

He changed it to 12lb and 10lb hooklength mate . It's a great way to catch barbel ...
the stretch is above fladbury apparently ?? Im not familiar with the area myself so didn't recognise it .

Yes I thought after I was wrong about the line.
The avon is looking very good with good flow and some colour. Had a good look around some old lower haunts yesterday p.m and was encouraged by reports that a couple of barbel caught including a little 'pup, I had a quick dusk session, and also had a small barbel, that is a great sign that maybe just maybe the river is clawing it's way back.
Encouraging.
