Well done mate, congratulations.

Agreed. I have used two for a few years now on the smaller rivers with Harrison 1-6’s and 1-10’s and they complement each other really well.

Also done.

Sorry it should gave read “ before I caught my first double”.

Well done mate. It took me 20 years, about 6 different rivers and a couple of hundred barbel before I caught my first barbel back in 1999. I only fished the Blackwater once and liked the look of it until the bank collapsed and I took a thorough soaking ! Never been back nut remember it being a...

Hi mate, welcome to the best fishing forum on the web. Don’t know whether you have ever fished the Hampshire Avon but I am willing to bet it is right up your street.

Thanks John. I’ll have a look at that first.

Well that well and truly buggered up a “feel good” post ! For my part, well done Andrew and imagine what you’ll achieve when you’re fully fit again ! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Steve.

And also my response to Graham.

lol. I’m going come He’ll or high water (pun intended !) but could well end up on the lakes which would be a first. I’ve fished in floods on the Avon many times but I take your point. I think I’ll give it a miss until the new season. 😉 That should fool the weather gods !
