Hi guys,
am new to the barbel forum so dont be too harsh..
Basically, I wanna catch me one. there is only one spot on my stretch of river where I know there are some, some double figures too. I would like to ask maybe a few Q's on whats the best way..
The location is a Big wier pool, very fast flowing over the sill, shallows up after maybe 30 feet where upon it takes a right angle to the right, where upon it shallows to maybe 2 or 3 feet. The water is fast and very clear, with a gravelly bottom on the 3 foot deep part. I dont know if its still gravel in the pool itself, but I know (from expensive experiance) that it is snaggy..
some advice would be helpful if its cool ?
whats the best time of year for them would you suggest ? Bait ? Tactics ?(I would imagine like carp.. sorry guys)
any help would be great guys.. thanks alot in advance.
Matt
