Caught a gudgen on saturday, first one for about 4 years, from a local pond, but it didn't have any barbels on it's mouth - I thought they did

they usually have two barbules but I believe they can tuck them in when they are not in use..........

Did it have an up turned mouth?
If so it'd be the alien species 'top mouth gudgeon' like the shown one on here.

The Gudgeon is my favourite fish. They have an impudent manner about them that makes me laugh when I catch them...all too infrequently nowadays. Is there a Gudgeon shortage?
I think they need to be stocked in every pond, river, canal and lake throughout the land for every one to enjoy....much more fun than carp.

I am a member of GUGGS - Grand Union Gobio Gobio Society
The fish are usually weighed on electronic scales in a little box rather like a lidless coffin. Some of the members take it quite seriously ......

Used to fish a stretch of the GU near Hunton Bridge (5 or 6 years ago) that was alive with Gobios. Near a lock that had a feeder entering the canal. Why are they so rare in still water? Is it breeding conditions?

I know that swim very well BB. On the Lady Capels. It is also THE chub flyer peg.....The GUGGS club is situated in the Tring area, the pounds are crawling with them......needless to say there is also a good population of big perch....
