I have no axe to grind, but if you are travelling and paying for b&b the little extra for a guide may help. Sorry I can't recommend barbel guides from experience but have used guides...

    Slow cooker hempseed

    I've tried all of these methods and gone back to just soaking with no cooking as recommended by Fred Crouch. That is assuming that it's not for use on the hook

    Otter Petition

    I was match fishing on the fens in the 70's when the zander started making an impact. All zander caught were killed as a matter of course, It made absolutely no impact.
