Is it so much "Spawning fish", or just giving the river a chance to "Recover"?? I have been out today and watched Barbel (quite surprised myself too), and they were appearing where they would not usually, when/if line and leads are being thrown out daily! Maybe they do need a rest from us, as we...

I am ruling out a fairly hooked "massive"(Alex) barbel.:D That was a big Pike though Chris. Has anyone else had a similar experience??

Pike then maybe? At least it seems everyone thinks the fish was foul hooked!

Ut Oh, Phil and Howard I am not reassured here!! I quite like the bream idea, but it was so heavy?

I am wondering what fish I may have encountered the other evening? The bite was just a steady pull round of a downstream rod which seemed like a log or debris just pulling with the flow. I lifted the rod and dragged the item against the flow some twenty yards with no sign of a fight, just like...

Great to see it back up!! ;) Missed you all....:D

To everyone, may 2014 bring all you need and more!! Good Luck...:) Oh, and Tight Lines of course!!;) Shaun.

Merry Christmas everyone, and the best of festive fun!!:)

Lovely Jubbly init??? :D ;)

With all that cover it sounds like a good stretch to fish Dave!!;) But not in high storm conditions, be careful one and all.:)

Good "Point" Lewis!!;)

Very well put Anthony and true. :)

Great tip there Bob! Loctite for me also as I have tried the cheaper and they don`t hold as well, this holds as long as you need usually, for a bite. You can find it on offer at supermarkets quite often too.

If you find a way to repair it Alex, please share, as mine has done the same!:)

Your right Kenneth, still a great read and well worth the starting price too! ;)

That sounds very scary Marcus, glad you are ok! And thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Marty, I see your point with the Wye!! Hopefully I would be best able to see when it`s safe and when not..;) Certain risks are best not taken.:)

Sounds like a very good recommendation Steve. :)

Very True Rich, but, just the day before yesterday a friend was telling me how he spoke to an "angler" who was quite happy about the fact that he had scaled right down for bites. Only to lose "6" barbel and land "5", he had to leave the river because he had "ran out of hooks"!!:confused: The...

My friends say that I am a bit mad when it comes to catching Barbel, but I don`t like losing them if I can really help it. No doubt everyone agrees?? I have put a new blog in the "Blogs" pages, and yes I had a SPLASHING time!!:(:D
