Stacklands barbel Had these two 8 and 9lb beauties on a river that was steadily fining down. I was glad to have 12lb mainline as they fought like demons. Robin Red 14mm pellets were eagerly snaffled. Attachments: 20200901_173710.jpg 20200901_181743.jpg Posted on September 02, 2020 at 9:54 PM
Re: Stacklands Can I just confirm that daily permits will not be required as from the 1st October? (as was the case last year). Posted on September 30, 2018 at 9:32 PM
Re: The wye Plenty of pike moving last week - slacks beyond the concrete platforms looked likely spots. Barbel were feeding too! Posted on November 13, 2017 at 8:41 PM
Re: The Trimpley Experience I can understand their use in carp fishing but definitely not for river fishing for barbel! Posted on July 24, 2017 at 10:05 PM
The Trimpley Experience This still remains one of my favourite BAA stretches and it's definitely worth the long walk if you're after barbel - today was no exception with three fighting fit fish up to 7lb. Just a couple of thoughts - do anglers fishing for barbel using swim-feeder tactics really need to use bite alarms? Surely if you are continually feeding your swim it is unnecessary - most barbel bites are usually unmissable and it's bloody irritating to hear the incessant buzzing throughout the day. Also, I note that someone has removed a large bush/branch which I'm convinced shaded a holding spot for fish during the day - why do people insist on removing what was a great feature? Anyway, whingeing over, great stretch - just wish it was closer to home! Posted on July 24, 2017 at 7:36 PM
