Don't get me wrong lads, I am not talking about giving away stretches, swims or even all catches but the past collaboration, people posting info regarding river levels, conditions, issues, etc, allowed many to gain valuable info.
I have been involved with this forum in it's differing forms for about ten years and in that time it helped greatly with the increase of success and sharing of methods, etc... probably even being the main influencing factor behind the growth of Barbel fishing as a specialist area. I have made many, many good friends through BFW too.
I just think we need to keep it going, keep contributing and sharing, you don't have to give everything away, I never have and I have never harmed my fishing or that of others but I hope someone in some way has benefitted through interaction with me
