Lower Derwent - Pride of Derby stretch

Been having a good run of late, went yesterday for a few hours after work and managed one just under 8lb during daylight hours weirdly.

My PB is 12 n half pound from there and I've lost some bigger fish, did me in snags when I just couldn't stop the runs.

I'm hoping to get a 15lb'er out of there this year or next.
 
It's usually most productive at night time on this stretch, but of late I've been catching when it's low and clear in bright sunshine and even on boilie.

Must be a bigger stock of Barbel in here than first thought.
