All I absolutly love fishing for Barbel when the rivers are in flood. As long as I can see the edge of the bank the higher the better. I love to stick a bait on the back eddys crease and I have always been successful. My PB of 12lb 2oz came from the summer floods and few years ago when my local river was up by +10ft. However now comes the time of the winter and for me there has been some debates within my local fishing fraternity that barbel can be caught froma little as 4c. I've got to admit this seems to be a little cold and I have only caught barbel from 8c or above. My local river, as most rivers are is currently in high flood but the temps are dropping. Do I or don't I attempt to fish below 8c. Have anyone caught below 7c?
