Hello from France !

[Anthony Block]

Hello everyone,
first of all, I apologize for my English, as I speak French.

I live in France and mainly fish the Moselle River, as well as the Saur River in Luxembourg.
I discovered barbel fishing this year, and... wow!

It's a fantastic fishing. I mainly fish with a feeder.
The rivers I fish are very productive for barbel, and I've already had some nice catches.

I practice rod building. I've even ordered a Chimera 3 blank that I'll be building this winter.

I joined the forum after reading it for several weeks. Because, let's face it, English anglers are much more passionate about barbel than anglers in France, where this fish is too often forgotten.

I'm happy to explore the forum sections and exchanging ideas with you all !

Bienvenue!
Don’t worry about your ‘english’ it seems better than some of ours
Some nice Barbel there! Enjoy the forum, everyone is very helpful & friendly and will be interested in any tips for perhaps where to fish for weekends away
