Thanks for your replies. I haven’t fished her for over 20 years after the Barbel stocks declined dramatically . It is good news that some of you guys are still enjoying the fishing and any barbel landed here is an event to get the heart racing. I must get myself down there before the season...

Hi Guy’s, Excuse my ignorance but is fishing the Teme for Barbel these days a realistic proposition? Not discounting it would still be a lovely place to fish in any case? G.T.

Don’t give up yet Martin. It’s the close season and people on here sometimes appear to suffer from ‘withdrawal symptoms’ and are a little ‘out of sorts’. All forums are simply an exchange of opinions and nobody agrees with all of them. You are right, without contributions this forum will end...

JRM is a seriously weird individual in some respects but he has at least said ‘the unsayable’ here so I am not going to decry him for that. G.T.

Maybe, but he is the only politician I have heard actually say this. G.T.

Now look what you started!😂 G.T.

Hi Martin, It is always nice to have top of the range new products but you will find that people on here use a wide range of rods. It is simply a case of matching the rods action to the type of river you are fishing and maybe the size of Barbel you expect to catch. A couple of my rods are at...

Hi Martin, Welcome. You are among friends here , mate. Nice to hear your ‘back story’, just keep on enjoying your fishing and you won’t go far wrong. Thanks for posting, G.T.

I get your point Chris but this fish is actually on a wet landing net mesh on wet grass ( at the moment the grass couldn’t be anything else ). I think we can cut Andrew a bit of slack on this one, mate.👍 G.T.

I don’t think I have used a barbed hook in over 30 years. Never had an issue with them myself ( Drennan’s , mostly ). G.T.

A uni on eyed hooks , knotless knot on baits not attached directly on the hook and hook tying ’machine’ for small spade hooks G.T.

Maybe your hobby could pay for itself if you wanted to share your photos witha wider audience, they are exceptional after all, G.T.

Hi Steve, you aren’t on your own mate, my wife and I have had some major ‘issues’ in recent times. We try to go for a stroll in the countryside in the afternoons to keep fit and basically get a little exercise. I can assure you that a glance at the ages carved on the headstones in churchyards...
