I remember fishing Barton around 1993 with a stick float and caster. Catching some lovely roach (remember them?) and chub when on several occasions I hooked and lost something decent. I was quite young then and didn't associate the river with barbel but have no doubts looking back that they were...

The comment by RW was made on a barbel group on Facebook following some mishandling on the Trent (I think). Anyway, it said:
