How many on the forum will be starting there Barbel season on the 16 and

where. I will be on the river Severn.

 

[Jon Frisby]

On my local Dearne or Don for me. Haven't missed in years.

 

[Gavin Hoe-Richardson]

Midnight on the Yorkshire Derwent.

 

[Tom Mycroft]

Midnight on the Derbyshire Dove and back home for the 2pm kick off.

 

[John Smith 2]

First light on the Trent

 

[Kevin Pilgrim]

Early afternoon into dark on the Medway for me.

 

[Mike Thompson]

It's the Yorkshire Derwent for me too, but the dog will insist on a walk before I am allowed out, so will be at the water by about 0600.
Wishing everyone a great opening day.
Mike

I have started my Barbel season in the same swim for the last five years. The week after

am off to Ireland for weeks fishing.

 

[Luke Agacy]

Midnight start on the Loddon...... got the Thursday & Friday off work too

 

[Jon Young]

Probably have to work but be home for the football then up the Severn for the evening

 

[Patrick Dolan]

Midnight on the Ribble for me then home for a couple of hours kip before the match and back for the evening and into dark session

 

[Steve Roffey]

On the Severn but not decided yet whether to go for a midnight start or wait until the evening and fish through into early hours Friday.

 

[Luke Agacy]

All of my family/friends/colleagues think I'm mad going out at midnight fishing......

Glad it's not just me then

 

[Steve Lewis]

Meetings at work on 16th that I can't get out of, unfortunately. So it's a very early first-light start on 17th with a roving approach until dark, with a little spinning rod and box of lures for backup summer piking if the going is slow.

My first line wetting for nearly 20 years!

 

[Graham Shaw]

Work hours mean I can't get out of Leeds, so on the 16th I'll try to do 00.00-02.00 and 17.30 to 23.00 on the Aire.

 

[Dan Whitelock]

Aiming for a midnight start on the 16th on the Ouse but it might be a case of late afternoon on the 16th and fish through until the next day, need to see how negotiations go.

 

[Andrew Venn]

Its going to be the Bristol Avon for me after I have done a early shift though so on the river for 330 through to darkness then all weekend off.

 

[Paul Hayes]

Travel down on Wednesday Thursday will find me starting the same place I did last season on the Wye for 3 days.

 

[John Cook]

Banging my head on the Loddon.....

 

[Mark Anderson]

Hi men,

On my local lake , which will be a bit quieter after all the "traditionalist" river anglers disappear after "keeping it real" for 3 months
