I have bought it Stephen but am yet to read it but in the current climate feel that will happen soon.
In the short term I would also be interested in the answer to your question ;)
Definitely my worst season ever, just 6 Barbel from a flooded river Wye during summer floods and not one from my local rivers ( Dorset Stour, Hants Avon) just a few Chub on local rivers but even they were in short supply:(

I mostly hook them direct on Guru MWGB hooks in size 16 on which I have landed several doubles to 14-9 or if I want to fish a larger bunch I do a similar thing to the Carp fraternity by mounting...
I like the Drennan feeders which i think are called 'Oval Flat Bed' feeders (might be completely wrong with the name) to which I add anything up to 3oz's via lead which is poured into a trays and then cut to size;)
I've eaten thousands over the years whilst based in Germany and they are delicious but really nothing more than a hand made burger, but ask yourself this, why have I never used a Hamburger as bait (cooked) :rolleyes: they have to work don't they?
