Warwickshire Avon

check out Bobs angling on youtube, catching Barbel on the float from a snaggy swim with a good pace of flow. Many an angler of the Carp variety should watch it to see how a real Angler can fish sucessfuly. Skill.

12lb line for trotting though ...

Think it might be 10 Barry (pedant alert). But what a great piece of skill, upper reaches I think Manor?

He changed it to 12lb and 10lb hooklength mate . It's a great way to catch barbel ...
the stretch is above fladbury apparently ?? Im not familiar with the area myself so didn't recognise it .

Yes I thought after I was wrong about the line.
The avon is looking very good with good flow and some colour. Had a good look around some old lower haunts yesterday p.m and was encouraged by reports that a couple of barbel caught including a little 'pup, I had a quick dusk session, and also had a small barbel, that is a great sign that maybe just maybe the river is clawing it's way back.
Encouraging.

Anyone looking for this it’s Rob’s (although technically he is a Bob) Angling.

Agree re the W.Avon, reports of smaller Barbel being caught during matches on my local stretch. Definitely a good sign for the future.

I think it’s the place above MF. The other bank is closed until further notice but that side can be fished with a day ticket from the pub (apparently).

Yeah you used to be able to fish the pub side and pay for a day ticket at the bar (if we're talking about AM) There didn't seem many pegs though, I think I only found 1 or 2 at most.

Yes I’m talking about there. I’ve never fished that side.

The other side has been shut for a while as the owner passed away, but people have been fishing it after cutting the locks and ramming the gate open.

Caused a bit of controversy the other week as someone put out a YouTube video fishing it and the comments soon filled up saying “it’s closed”. Claimed he didn’t know it was shut but something didn’t add up.

I was on MF a few weeks ago and there were some undesirables fishing the last peg at the point. There’s a sign up now and the EA have been turning up to check the last few weeks.

Yeah shame it closed, I won't miss her little dog though, that thing had my ankles more times than I'd like
