Statement from the Barbel Society Barbel Society - Fishery Update Dear Member, The unusually high air temperatures and lack of rain has meant that there is a strong likelihood of reduced dissolved oxygen in our rivers. We all know that barbel populations are suffering for a number of reasons and so it is imperative we protect what we have. The committee has been monitoring the situation and the weather forecasts are not offering a respite any time soon. Reduced air temperature will not change the situation; we need a substantial influx of rain. We have therefore taken the decision to shut our fisheries to take effect from 9 am on Monday July 9th. This gives everyone a chance to make arrangements and seems the fairest option. We would ask those who are visiting our fisheries this weekend to take the utmost care of any fish caught. Resting in the landing net before and after unhooking is a must along with not taking the fish out for weighing and photos etc., but be aware that it is not guaranteed that a barbel swimming off strongly will be ok, the after effect can kick in later and you would be none the wiser. If you can cancel your trip so much the better. We are sure you will understand, the welfare of barbel is paramount and we all have a responsibility to ensure we do our utmost to achieve that. We will be monitoring the situation on a daily basis to ensure the fisheries can be re -opened as soon as possible. We thank you for your understanding and support. The Barbel Society Committee.

Re: The River Wye (Stacklands) That’s really sound of you to say and very much appreciated. We’ve got a wonderful fishery there and it would be criminal not to look after it. Posted on July 02, 2018 at 9:16 PM
Re: The River Wye (Stacklands) No one is more desperate to get out and wet a line than me mate, and as you know I’m there pretty much every day! I’d NEVER stop anyone fishing (even if I had the authority to do so!) I’m just giving my opinion, as a responsible angler it’s all about fish care for me and I’d choose not to fish in these conditions and encourage others to do likewise.

Re: The River Wye (Stacklands) I dont know. It completely depends on the conditions. I can only really speak for the Wye as thats where I do the majority of my fishing. I went to Gunthorpe on the Trent this time last year and didnt fish as the conditions were similar. Further up stream by the weir however the place looked like a festival, bivvies every few yards with I bet up to 50 or 60 lines in the water. Not for me that. Posted on July 02, 2018 at 5:12 PM
