Hi john, I just thought you'd like to see the size of the barbel swimming
around in your stretch of the river Anker at Bolehall Tamworth. I caught this monster on
openeing day 16/06/08.
It was caught in the margin on the pole using size 10 laccy, size 16 hook and 4lb bottom. Bait was double red maggot.
The fish was weighed and witnessed and hit the scales at 13lb 4 oz. The trouble is
I caught it 12 days too early, as i'm fishing a match there tomorrow (Saturday 28 June).
Regards ,
