    My favourite winter barbel swim just above the the bush on the far bank casting over to the V in the ice. It is on the inside of a large bend. When in flood on top of the bank had some decent barbel. Not my picture

    Prolonged heat

    Been once as Rodger has quoted in a post the Ribble. most of the reading stations are to low to give a reading. Would go down to the Dove but that it is giving a very low reading.
