That's the details to which I refer, thanks Mark.

Absolutely agree again Howard!! Why do so many anglers assume that it has to be one way or the other?? They are protected, why not find away of protecting the fish too? It has just been passed that they can now be moved, (which was never allowed to happen previously) this is a giant step...

Teme PHD work still in full swing Graham...Catie will answer any questions you have, and likewise take down any catch info, or other offerings you have too. I believe Joe has forwarded her contact details to you.

I did wonder why you had left it on so long after the bite!!

Haha....very effective all the same, I was imagining you fumbling with the phone as the fish is taking off with the rod next to you!!

Thanks Derek, yes I have that one (for children) and its a slightly different beast....but as you say, a bargain for someone!

P.M. received and replied to, Stephen.

I just clicked on your link and had to do it again a couple of times just to hear that sound!! It sounds like a nice Barbel Paul!!??

Wanted.....Wychwood Maximiser twin 1.75 & 2 lb test??? Not found this old faithful available anymore, if anyone has it or knows where to find it, would be grateful of any info....

Chub..:)

Not as many fish in most rivers as there used to be Graham, maybe that explains some of it....lots of people fishing the same stretches for the same fish also. No doubt those fish left are wising up a bit too, with less competition for food, that odd knock may have been a fish saying "no...

Rest in Peace, sympathies to your loved ones.

Thanks Anthony, yes sometimes the hunch you have can pay off! But not all the time though......unfortunately. Thanks all for the kind words, makes it worth the write-up, and not just the diary entry at home. Conditions looking favourable again this week, good luck to all!!

And then there is the tidal Trent.......but of course as Neil stated, a slightly different kettle of fish, as the Severn (Bristol Channel) has the second highest tidal reach in the world.

No-one mentioned the Wye...The Wye has Barbel on the tidal reaches at Tintern! Not sure though, whether they are caught when the tide runs off (I think this was the case for a friend recently) or when it peaks... It does seem to make sense that they would move more with the river backing up and...

Thanks guy`s (& gal`s)! The Ouse it wasn`t Mark, but I hope you two manage to get the Barbel bug again! Tight lines all, rivers may well be warming this week....

The diary entry is now live on the website for you all to take look! (pore over, Anthony). Link here; http://fishingforbarbel.com/catch-22-thanks-go-john-newman-title/

Hi Andy, pm sent your way.

Of course it must have been the Loddon Richard, that`s an easy river! Lol. Happy Birthday!

It was one of those sessions Chris and Jeff, and you never stop learning really. Just as the Barbel distribution thread is proving....those fish move, and sometimes congregate for various reasons. I have witnessed this on other rivers also, but managing to be in that right place at that right...
