Re: Stocking barbel in riversI wouldn't have thought it would make sense for an organisation to stock barbel in a river, given how nomadic they can be. If I owned a stretch, don't think I'd stock a load of fish, just for them to bugger off to the stretch downstream...who knows though?

Re: Stocking barbel in riversI agree,I don't see the point in a club stocking any species of fish into a river to be honest.Obviousley the ea stock fish on various rivers across the country but for a club to do it would surely be a waste of money.The same would apply for any water a club runs on a canal too,you just can't control where the fish will end up.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversRichard Walker has claimed to have caught barbel from the Ouse in the early 50's but I'm only going on what I've read.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversAlso Bob Church apparently introduced barbel to the Ouse above Bedford in the early 70's.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversI searched the the clubs news feeds and thee was a picture of small 2/3 " Barbel being stocked in the upper WA. Couldn't find any in depth reports, but it does seem they have undertaken some stocking.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversThere has always been Barbel in UK waters, but confined to the eastern Rivers, the Angling Times were the first to introduce Barbel into the Severn in the 50's.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversI was just stating where and when they stocked them....didn't say they were the first to do so.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversTo be pedantic, you said Bob Church introduced them, he did not, he might have stocked a few, but he didn't introduce them.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversI'm only repeating a comment I read somewhere else,hence the use of the word apparently in my comment.Again it appears your basic reading skills are letting you down

Re: Stocking barbel in riversWhy don't you two -- Stew & OLCast stop your constant childish bickering which is clogging up the site for more interesting comments.In my experience when I posted my concerns about the problems at Uckinghall 2 or 3 years ago OLCast attempted to start arguments then.Some of the things he said then indicated to me that he hadn't been near the place for ages.I would suggest Stew that you just ignore his comments as he is a complete *****ole.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversFor the interest in stating facts about how Barbel have colonised our rivers it might be worth pointing out a few truths, not for point scoring but as a valuable recognition of how and why they got here. Truth is the Barbel are 'up against' it somewhat and any sort of sound knowledge as to what their natural habitat was is going to help us understand their needs in the future, not that I think too many are interested, especially when I read some comments on here.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversWell said mixer,totally agree,every time I make a comment he starts,I have said previously that instead of coming back and forth on here which is not what this forum is for,why don't we meet up and discuss his concerns,obviously he declined.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversNot one reply have you made arguing or maybe agreeing with the points I have made.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversI can't be arsed to engage in any more pointless arguments with you to be honest,I think everyone can see that mixers description of you is pretty accurate.So everything you said is right and I totally agree with everything you say.

Re: Stocking barbel in riversI offered you a chance to actually see if the rumour was correct, as Anglers, and especially someone like yourself I would have thought it might be of interest to dig deeper, but then yet another negative reply Oh well.
