Yeah I think there localised above Taddy bridge ! Look at the Leeds DASA matches at Ulleskelf one barbel being caught , that’s not right . Some say a lot have ended up in the Ouse with the winter floods etc plus cold spring right when they were going to spawn , last year saw a drop off around...

Ive been fishing the Wharfe last few weeks and there is a noticeable lack of barbel about , especially downstream of Tadcaster bridge , recent years it’s been full of em ! There’s 3 storm outflows just around the bridge alone , let alone the ones above the bridge. How this is legal and being...

Better to seek forgiveness than asking for permission? Besides you have a solid argument in that they are not a nut 😊

Cracking result especially on your local river 👍

And to think I sold all my carp gear in 1997 because I thought it was getting too commercialised.

I took the spring out and it was twisted slightly, bent it back into shape , there was also some crud behind the fulcrum point were it slides up and down with the spring, that probably wasn’t helping either. I might order another spring to be on the safe side . Thanks for the offer Rich but I...

The ratchet spring on my Youngs S/L pin is coming adrift onto the backplate all the time , can’t see a way of adjusting it , I generally push it back on the pawl with some forceps from the outside , but it’s getting a pain now Ends up like this … Then I push it back on ending up like this...

I’ve a pair Simms G3 waist waders , had them around 15 years now , expensive at the time but they’ve lasted and don’t leak , like wearing a pair of heavy jeans, I can walk for miles in them and forget I’m wearing them . Also have the Simms guide boot to go with them and there the same ...

I used Dave Lumb last year for a pair of Chimera 3s , I live in Leeds and spent the 90mins to go and pick them up Great to deal with and does an excellent job 👍

I used Grange in 1995 , got it straight from Mainlines factory at the time , great bait ! Although never used it for Barbel

Not sure I’ll use another off the shelf boilie for barbel , just make my own now , I find it’s more effective and cheaper, plus I vary flavours and levels depending on venue. Size and shape also infinitely variable. It’s a win win for me .

TB 36” net is around 36-37 inch deep , just measured it.

I’ve tried all three methods and still haven’t come to any conclusion, in fact I was fishing last night and read Richard’s post so tried a double 16mm boilie which almost instantly produced a nice chub ! 🤣 I’d had a small barbel on a single boille an hour earlier. But for a 2-4 hour session I’d...

I had the plastic spreader block break on my TB 36” net , informed TB and they sent a new alloy block out , I paid the difference in £ but I’d still recommend it

So that’s another thing he’s good at … photography! 😎

That’s a wall hanger Terry ! 👌

I thought it was Tiger ?! But it applies to fishing just as much as golf 😎 Oh and talking of Trefor I know where one of his rods is for sale if the OP is interested ? As he’s fishing the Nidd it will be local to him

I have the 11ft Torrix 2.0 that I use on the Y Derwent , very similar to the Nidd , it’s perfect , stopped doubles in there tracks caught a rod length out
