Just an excuse!!

I'm thinking of going to the Severn to try and catch a few barbel. I know the river's low at the moment, but people keep telling me I'd be wasting my time. Are these people the ones who aren't catching?

Are they blaming the river for their lack of success, when maybe, they should be looking at their style of fishing?

After all, a fish has to eat!

Anyone any thoughts??

not sure about the severn Bacon, but the river taff is low at the moment, and we are still having barbel and chub, chub are coming during the day to pellet and maggot with the odd small barbel, and the larger barbel coming at around sunset, and the following couple of hours. go for it mate, i havnt been this week and its killing me so have one for me

The Mersey would be the obvious choice, and the Liverpool Manchester Canal

just don't go there alone, as I know of a few ppl who would have had tackle nicked if it wasn't for the fact they were in a group, plus weren't there a feature on it in one of the weeklys a few month back, so much for the secret If you have transport go up the M61 to the River Ribble Nr Preston, which always used to fish well for chub in the autumn/winter I belive.
