Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
Thanks for responding,I've just seen that bit of info on their website makes you wonder though if all the controlling clubs got together and put a few more in it might help a bit.Also I think you two would be great on Jeremy Kyle

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
Jeremy Kyle who's that?
I think your point about clubs stocking Barbel is valid, and pleased you managed to see the evidence as to the stocking, I can't find it now but did see it!
Although predation will wipe out most of the fry, some might make it, and every little helps. I believe the EA seem only to stock the Trent with Barbel, brought on at Calverton. it would seem the Avon and Severn are left to their own devices.
The WA is a shadow of what it used to be as far as Barbel numbers, as are many other Rivers, the Severn still has a reasonable population in the middle reaches, as does the Trent, and of course the Wye.
Perhaps the biggest and most sudden decline has been the Teme, and there are a few reasons given for that namely flooding and Otter, but I am hoping that it is on the mend, I hope so because that River is very special.
A contentious point I know, but weirs are a barrier for migrating fish, Barbel included, the Severn Rivers Trust as discussed on here has a grant of £20m to look into Shad migration, I volunteered to count Shad in Tewkesbury Weir, and I can say not many seem to make the weir which prevent the Shad reaching it spawning grounds in the Upper reaches of the Teme and Severn.
Weirs are recent history, built by the Victorians, although they offer huge advantages to many rivers, and are necessary, I wonder if such obstructions on the Teme are more of a problem than a help? Certainly as the mills are long gone, they are redundant in that respect.

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
It will be interesting to see if anyone catches any tiny barbel at wasperton because it seems that's where they're put them in

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
Just had notification from Leamington AA that they stocked 800 2-3" Chub and 700 2-3"Barbel at Wasperton 2015. So not the numbers that was talked of, but still a great effort. Also putting them in rivers is a great move.

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
I thought 10-000 was not a realistic figure but yes it is better to be proactive I suppose ,hopefully others will follow their lead

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
Well it did seem a large amount, but at least I have had confirmation that they did stock a good amount of fish. I messaged Leamington on their facebook page, and they (Nick) were polite and quick in their response.
However on here has been just the opposite, with loads of abuse coming my way which I admit took me by surprise. I tried to inject some humour into things but that was ignored, Stew, Tracker, and 'Barbelgod' whatever your motives were I don't know, but they were not fishing related and certainly ignored the thread topic, and you had your own agenda's
Leamington and BAA are both angling clubs, and even share the same stretch of waters on the Avon, so any such stockings would have I thought, been of interest to our own members in that potentially it would benefit BAA too. Thus the reaction from Stew was odd to say the least, given he is a BAA official .
I am aware that such abuse is found on a number of sites, it is the 'net' but it was depressing to see it on here, especially with one member being an obvious 'troll' I don't mind being 'modded' but I know when to stop, Some of you should do the same, surely we can act in a reasonable way, without the need for abuse?

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
And still he carries on,you've started all the petty arguments with persistent bickering about things that have nothing to do with the original post.Quite amusing for you to accuse people of having an "agenda" when it's quite clear you have one against me as you have attacked and picked apart every comment I make.I have tried to end the pointless arguments several times by offering to meet you and discuss any concerns you have but you seem to prefer to prolong the pointless bickering on here for some reason.It's obvious to anyone reading these threads who is causing the arguments and now a few people have brought this up to you,you don't like it and start calling everyone a "troll".I'll say it again just let it go,stick to the original subject of the thread instead of satisfying your urge to argue and shoot down anyone who's opinion differs from yours!

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
Slight correction Leamington advised the fish sizes were 3 to 4 inches, not 2 to 3...

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
Stew just how wrong can you actually be? I am the only one who stuck with the original topic, the OP said the club stocked 15k Barbel or so in the Avon, I took the time and trouble to find the truth, and posted it on here..but you and your mate have done nothing but sidetrack the thread with personal abuse at me, and still neither of you have the gumption to reply in a manner that is relevant to the subject.
So what do you think of the fact an Angling Club that is more local to you than me undertook such a stocking?

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
They aren't my mates at all,I've never met any of the other people in my life,also I haven't abused you at all,I am simply responding to your constant negative comments towards anything I say on this thread or any other Ines too.
Like I said earlier in the post I think the stocking of a river by a club(depending on the stretch) in most cases is pointless as you can't control where the fish end up.Obviousley any stocking is brilliant and I hope everyone can reap the rewards of this if like I mentioned before the fish stay in the area.

Re: Stocking barbel in rivers
from what i know about Barbel stocking on rivers, where they end up is hit and miss, i caught an EA stocked fish around 10 miles from where it was put in, . you can put them in what we would regard as perfick for Barbel but they push off elsewhere, in some cases navigating weirs to get there. What is worrying is that rivers need re-stocking, even the once prolific River Kennet, its Barbel once used to stock other rivers, is now having to be re-stocked itself. A sad reflection on the abilities of Natural England, the EA and canals and river trust to protect fish. Small barbel are just food for cormorants and the like, bigger fish otters. there are simply not enough Barbel reproducing to sustain, never mind increase, stock levels but the various bodies responsible just keep saying the rivers are cleaner than ever. and look there's lots of apex predators ( otter ) everything must be fine.
