    Modern or old?

    As you would probably guess I prefer to use cane rods and have a Barder Barbus Maximus and an F.J.Taylor Roach Rod, built by my friend Ian Tucker, amongst my collection. I also like to use a centrepin as much as possible but, this might come as a surprise, I frequently use my Hexagraph with a...

    when to fish

    There really is no time when they won't feed, but dusk and the first hour into dark is when I am most optimistic. I have found in many swims, on both small and large rivers, that when the bats are flying then the tip will soon be moving round. Really missing the riverbank ! Regards Hugo

    I just wonder how many members of the fairer sex fish for barbel. My daughter does and there is a lady member of our club. Any more? Hugo

    Spawning Barbel

    Shaun is absolutely right. Our dear barbel are chased, especially on smaller rivers, from pillar to post. Let them enjoy peace for a few months and do what comes naturally! Regards Hugo

    Close season.

    With the greatest respect I believe that the closed season needs to be maintained. It gives an opportunity for the riverbanks, flora and fauna to recover. Barbel normally spawn during the close season, does one really want to cast at spawning fish, even if they were interested in our baits...

    The National Barbel Record

    Following on from the "Is barbel fishing in decline" thread, I wonder if we have reached the ultimate weight for Barbus Barbus? It is some time now since the record was set and many of our rivers have a stock of aged, large fish, but the real monsters are no longer there, apparently. Food...
