Read with interest in the CF magazine news section that the barbel society will be funding the stocking of fish in the upper reaches of the Dorest Stour. This is a part of the river as yet devoid of barbel. It is narrow and alternates between pools and shallow riffles full of weed. It is a very intimate river and looks like a perfect habitat for barbel to spawn and thrive in.
I wonder if anyone knows any more about this.
I'm in two minds about it. I'm a barbel virgin in UK waters and in one way would love to see barbel in the upper river. On the other hand, and a little more selfishly, I worry that if successful this little fished stretch of water could see more anglers. Usually when I fish it I'm entirely on my own and though I consider myself to be quite a social person, I do love the solitude I get when out fishing!
