The next barbel river record

[Derek Funcks]

I would of thought the back waters at Elton might throw up a monster or two, from what I have been reliable informed by a friend and the former river record holder.

Sam, use your pole for propping up the washing line , and get back on the rivers Your a star/record holder in the making

Hi Derek.

95% of my match fishing is on the Severn! Don't fish many stillwater matches, they just aren't my thing at all. In fact, after this weekend coming, I won't be fishing a match until June!

Hi men,

Sam , the fish/fishes in the backwater are well known , and I know someone who changed from the Ouse to fish for it / them as he thought it had the same feel as Adams mill , but they still need a bit of a jump in weight , as 20lb is a tough barrier for any river .

Interesting to see 8.33% of the votes going to rivers that have had not a single report posted on BFW in 2016-2017.

Got to love a bit of "omerta" ;-)

 

[Terry Simner]

There's a lot more omerta about than most folk think Graham, but I for one refuse to talk about it
