Trent fishing, Barbel please

[Matt Shaw]

Ooohh its been a while since i posted a topic, it's nice to be back. I am currently concentrating my efforts on a carp pond near Sheffield, but feel the need for a change. I read an article in "Coarse Fisherman" mag about barbel in the River Trent. I am planning a fact finding trip in the Newark area, looking for day ticket stretches for the beginner. Has anyone got any tips, or better still does anyone fancy showing me around?

my friends and i regularly fish the trent for boris, i can either put you on to a few stretches, or maybe

take you there, do you live in sheffield? i'm in derbyshire, but all my fishing mates are in sheffield.

Fish the island near the arm at dunham bridge and thats all im telling you!

You will catch barbel what size i dont know. Also remember this stretch is tidal.

Caught my first river barbel there last year in autumn.
