Not sure why we'd turn off commenting on this thread, unless things get out of hand, which I'm sure they won't as we're such a civilised and well mannered bunch :)

I now have 15 more black Spoppers in stock for anyone that wants one... https://barbel.co.uk/home/shop/

Come on!!! Don't be shy...?

Hi all, After a few great old photos appearing in the BFW Gallery over the past couple of days, I thought I'd start a thread encouraging members to show off their first ever barbel (I've a feeling we may have done one before but I can't find it). Here's mine; a Bristol Avon fish caught in...

Hi Kevin, Did you have a look on this page of BFW? I'm sure members will have used some of these: https://barbel.co.uk/barbel-directory/barbel-accommodation/#wye Cheers, Andy

Welcome back John! Great to see you here again :) Good luck on those Yorkshire rivers... Cheers, Andy F

Thank you Richard - absolutely brilliant stuff!

I'm pleased to welcome a new barbel guide advertising in our Barbel Directory. Shaun Nurse has been a friend of BFW for many years and is an extremely experienced barbel angler and guide. You can find his advert on this page under the Severn, Warks Avon and Wye sections...

I'll have a chat with @Eddie Bray chaps, though I think we're limited to what's available for conversion. The original mini Spombs are really expensive so once they've been converted are not really commercially viable. I've just contact Spomb again to enquire about a trade account... Cheers, Andy F

Spoppers are now back in stock in various colours :)

We’ve heard today that the Harrison blank prices are increasing by 10%.

I’ve just sold the last Spopper though Eddie is in the process of making a new batch so I’ll have more soon(ish). I’ll post when I have them. Andy F

I'm pleased to say that @Peter Flood has come forward and sorted the issues with the BFW Gallery this weekend so we're now running on PHP7.4 and nice and secure. Huge thanks to Peter for helping me out. The Gallery has been saved!!! Thanks also to @Huanzhou Zhu who generously offered to help...

Wow - thank you Huanzhou!! That would be absolutely awesome!

I think that's going to be a much bigger job...!

For the time being I just want to update it so that it's compatible with the latest secure version of PHP (7.4 is fine). No change in functionality (yet). Currently if I update the domain that the gallery on to 7.X the gallery breaks so it's obviously using old calls.

Thanks Bill and Richard. The idea of a donation has been suggested many times before over the years and I've always pushed back. I guess if there's no obligation to make a donation and the feature is available to those that want to, there's no reason not to offer it. I've therefore added a...

I am so sorry to read this Ian. The pain of seeing your wife like this must be unbearable. I'm so glad that BFW is able to offer you some distraction through this difficult time. All the best, Andy F

Hi all, I'm hoping that somewhere out there in the BFW audience, there might be someone with PHP experience... I'm desperate for help with the BFW Gallery as it currently runs on an old version of PHP that I need to upgrade. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do this. Is there anyone...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. Thank you to everyone who contributes to the site, particularly for making it a well mannered, informative and pleasant place to post. Huge thanks as always to the BFW Team who continue keep...
