Anyone have an opinion on the next barbel record been a Stillwater barbel?
I don,t care what weight it came out as Adam, it would never count as the record in my book, nor for any BARBEL angler i guess.

'Fact' 6 made me smile - they are attracted to noise, they associate foot vibration with feeding!
What a world away from ours on rivers.

Sussex ouseI am not sure that spawning is an essential ingredient to the notion of 'Thriving'. Many a faithful 'man's best friend' or moggy has been deemed to have 'thrived' despite having dangly bits removed or being subjected to intrusive surgical procedures.
Some posters have suggested that these fish are dying in numbers during the summer months. We need evidence of this. When we have evidence, what? Warm blooded animals are slaughtered so I can enjoy the splendid beef stew I am eating right now. Some fish die so anglers can enjoy catching them. Not saying it is right, but it is what it is.
So the national record comes from a still water! Am I going to let that spoil a day spent hunting a Barbel on the Sussex Ouse.

The Searchers....isn't it. And I'd rather search for my fish as well rather than have them placed before me..
