Happy New Year everybody, and the best of health and luck for 2013!

I agree with Howard (you chose the right spot for the right reasons). Unlucky not to get it in!

Well done to everyone on here, and a very Merry Christmas!!:D

:D

IMO.....Often its the combined factors which come into play with the low pressure that make conditions favourable, ie; Westerly winds, Rain, And Warmer temps, (especially in Winter). When these all act favourably the fish "Will" feed, it`s getting the timing right with them that counts. In the...

Good luck with that man-flu Stuart! ;)

I`d say today would be very good for Barbel from most rivers, and am sure the water temps have risen enough for some catch reports later today! And hopefully some members will post some up-to-date river temps, can`t wait to get out myself either!! :)

Great News, will be looking for these after Christmas! :D

Lovely fish!:D Well done again Nigel!;)

As the last Blog has almost entertained 100 of you folks (and I have something more to say at last), a new one is on the BFW Blog page!!;)

Worth a good reccy Neil, when the rivers drop and spring has sprung!! I would imagine all will be revealed then (or quite a lot anyhow). :)

Thanks Gerry, I am sure you will find one tip section suits better than the other! Good luck with finding out!!;)

I have a Wychwood twin tip with a 1.75 and 2lb section, have found the 1.75 very floppy, and the 2lb seems made for the bottom half! You may find that one half suits much better than the other.... Oh and the markings are on the bottom of the tip sections, but yours may have been rubbed off??

Yes Chris, well worth a dabble with - if the price is right. It soaks up the fight really well, I would only say sometimes if the rivers too big or conditions too heavy, the rod does bottom out a little. But a nice one all the same for around a hundred quid. :);)

It`s great how you can transport us to the bank with you Keith, nice one!;)

Again for what it`s worth "well done Nigel". And yes it does seem you have re-captured your river Nene P.B. of 2008, The 16.8 in the dark! It is always good (reassuring) to see the fish well and putting weight on!!:D

On the website "predictions" and here, I am predicting a Window of oportunity to catch a barbel over the next few day`s! Feel free to let everyone know how you get on too.... As ever really!:D

Incredible....Not One but Three:eek:, a HUGE well done!:D

Well Done again Richard!! Very glad you claimed it too!!;) A fish like that should be shown!:D (Oh and that put`s that Angling Times "Season`s Biggest" to bed).

That looks "cold" Martyn. I too have managed to catch when the hard frost is down and air temps around the freezing point, though usually I will only try if I see a rise of the temps, or they have stayed low for a while meaning the barbs will still feed at some point! :)
