Supposed to get warmer again next week

Neil I was trying to start a debate on some thing I seen on the Barbel Society face book page .... Which you dismiss as blurb Neil like the rest of us you are your opinion and seem to think that in some way this is all about you ? You suggest I have shoe horned this from another argument ...

Mark I assume they know what they are talking about and the science behind what they say is a correct .... Then yes I would assume that it could be worse than the slow stuff . Due to the fact that turbulent water can stir up all sorts of things of the bottom and wash it down stream and have a...

Had some rain this morning in Cheltenham :)

It was interesting to read what water turbulence can have on DO concentrations ?

I thought this might be of interest to some of you guys . Its from the Barbel Society face book page .... I assume they must know what they are talking about ? I’ve read some ridiculous comments on DO recently so felt it only right that RC&C of the BS should put something definitive out on it...

Neil there is nothing wrong with my memory . Let me jog your memory .... You sent me a private message on here many years ago . After I posted a pic on here of a fish I caught from the W/Avon ...In you private message one of he many things you said and I quote '' Care to share '' and I asked...

Neil I think you should get your facts straight . Assuming we are talking about the same stretch ? I think you will find it was me who told you about the stretch and no I don't have exclusive rights to that particular stretch . Cast your memory back years ago when we first met at BS meeting at...

No Stephen it is not a dig at you

Mark I know one particular person on here who is too stubborn to admit when they are wrong and think they know better than the rest of us . I think we can all guess who I am talking about ? Perhaps he will take in what has been said . Or maybe he will just keep burying his head in the sand .

Mark you have to only look on the facebook pages to see people are still targeting Barbel against all the advice from the EA and the experts

I think you will find Neil that it is not just the Wye that is suffering . Its all rivers across the UK . The Trent has had some of its sections closed by clubs . Perhaps it time to call for a blanket ban on all Rivers ? Yes I know it would be totally unworkable

Mark the match was not on BAA waters it was on another club stretch . The guy who caught it had it weighed and returned straight after he caught it and it still went belly up and died

Neil the match was on the TPAA water on the Severn at Tewesbury .. It was not BAA

The Warren on the Wye have just stopped issuing day tickets I have also been told that a double figure Barbel caught in a match at the weekend on the Severn at Tewkesbury went belly up and died
