Barton Court has day tickets on it even though it's a trout fishery. Worth giving them a ring to see how much one is and when it's available from, however I can't find a number for them.

I know the owner of my local game angling shop goes there a bit so he might have a number. The shop is Lyttles of Dunchurch and their number is 01788 817044. The guy you're after is Paul Vernon.

Good luck

Forgot to add that Barton Court is near Hungerford, Berkshire.

ive fished barton court many times and ive never seen a barbel there but that might judt be me !! ( it seems to happen to me often ) although the old mill at aldermaston is full of em and ive nad loads over the years from many of the swims especially the lawn and the wier its self. good luck whatever you do !!

Yoggy, a couple of points re Barton Court.

Its a lovely fishery but there are no Barbel or Chub there to my knowledge.Its best known for its winter Roach,Grayling & Dace,especially the latter.

Its also only open from either 31st of September or October from my recollection after the trout fishing has ended.Check their web-site for full details.You also need to book in advance.

Give it a go!!

ive only fished it during winter months nigel and i have had the odd chub there as well as some nice perch too although its a good roach water in the winter.
