ive been meaning to ask on here for ages has anyone fished much on this stretch of the warwickshire avon ?(the island section opposite the fish pub)-and what has been your success?...ive been probly fished it about 3 times myself 2 in summer and 1 in winter and ive never caught a barbel,that may be down to my fishing skills or lack of them but ive fished with other people and all we`ve managed between us is a few chub about 2/3lb and a couple of gudgeon/roach after scaling down for bites!!!
.....the other thing i want to ask is-has anyone chatted to the bailiff here?...he told me and my mate that there was " barbel upto 28lb"-to which we said "18 you mean?"..."no...28!!!"...,6lb perch and various other record obliterating fish in the stretch....he`d seen them with his own eyes apparently!...in his own words `they dont report them as everyone in the country would be flocking here and it would ruin it`!!! me and my mate were already trying to hold our s******s in but he was deadly serious!!! all i can think is he must be losing the plot and getting delusions of grandure!?
