Rods of a quality far beyond anything you will ever own Warren. At least they were before I broke em both.

 Bob Where do you get the size 48 hooks to catch them on?
|
|
I'm not telling you. In any case, I took them in the closed season so you'd not try it anyway...
|
|
Surely not, everyone knows barbel dont spawn in the closed Bob. You'll be telling us they were from a still water next.

 Fred, Graham, Those arn't small barbel........... this is a small barbel.
I love em, far harder to catch than those bloody big uns Dave.
Is this the first time ever that blokes have argued about who's got the smallest? 
|
|
 Ah but, mine's the biggest smallest!!

.jpg) The last 2 years ive caught loads small barbel from the severn
|
|
But Bob, I do all my barbel fishing in the close season, the river's so much quieter then 
|

 The EA pulled a car wreck out of the Ribble a few years ago that had been there for a while (back of the Tickled Trout hotel). When the rear doors were opened, the footwells were brim-full with baby barbel, which were obviously using it as a nursery 'reef'. I've always thought that maybe young uns dont like to stray too far from cover, which explains why they are not caught as much as other similiar sized fish of other species?

 What did you catch on the livey, not what you caught the livey on Tone!!!! Make a good bait for a catfish. Better even than a baby tench!
|
|
Very like tench, they probably tend to feed on small naturals and hang around in different places than the adult fish....
|
|
I caught a Fred and a Graham on it Greg, two bigguns and the Fred was a new pb.
|
|
 I've one or two of similar size to the photos Graham posted from the lower Derwent on a maggot feeder.
|
|
Eh, Tony?? That's never a gudgeon
|
|
Im in playfull mood Fred, should see what I just put on the BS site. 
|
|

|
|
