    Type of rig you use?

    Hi Peter, I'm intrigued by the pulley bead - must confess I had never even heard of one. Do you use it for its anti-tangle properties? Steve

    Are any small river barbel populations thriving?

    Do I think the otter is the sole reason for the decline of barbel on so many of the rivers I fish / used to fish? No. Do I think the otter is a major contributory factor to the decline? Yes. Do I think that the legislation protecting otters should be repealed? Too ******* right I do!

    Naming stretches.

    I have always assumed that named stretches are just a blind to throw people off the trail of the real venue!! Guess that says more about what a sneaky sod I am than anything else. Personally I wouldn't dream of even hinting at a stretch on an open forum.

    Pete Reading Breaks Hants Avon Barbel record!

    Hi Greg, my copies are in the loft too! I do remember Pete's article on Saving the Avon and obviously yours too. I didn't keep my Coarse Fishermans, Coarse Anglers, Dave Hall's Coarse Fishing, Coarse Fishing Handbooks or the various Big Fish specials - just Specialist Angler and Coarse Fishing...

    Looking to acquire new barbel rods

    The ML 3-8s were very special indeed - I suspect I would still be using them now if they hadn't been stolen. The rods I have been using for the past 10-15 years are built on Harrison blanks and I won't be changing anytime soon.

    Thames at Datchet

    Hi Paul, I used to live in Datchet - fished the stretch once and, although I liked it aesthetically, the broken glass in the car park and abundance of our travelling friends walking around left me looking over my shoulder all the time and I didn't enjoy the experience so never returned. Steve
