  1. Thanks - they have turned up sporadically over the years here - though this is now the 3rd season running I've had them over 3lb from here - having never had one of that size before the 22/23 season (and I've fished this stretch every year since 82/83!). I've tended to catch them when the river is up...

  2. Eeek - glad I have avoided the trout - hate the blighters! Just chub fry have been introduced this year in a couple of locations (Hambridge and Padworth I believe - but don't quote me!) The new Kennet hatchery only got a miniscule number of barbel eggs (around a 1000 I think) and these are going to be grown on for a couple of years before release. Next spring they'll need to get the barbel earlier - most of the ones electro-fished this year for stripping had already spawned!.

  3. Ha-ha - after only 2 trips this season (and only 2 the whole of last) I could hardly be described as an expert on the venue. Members keep telling me its a hard venue - though I've managed 7 tench in 2 trips this summer - to my usual float fishing tactics! Anyways I'm half way through a piece on perch for the autumn newsletter. Still a long way from being finished but will include a long discourse on their rather unique eyesight!
