Pursuing them is an awesome experience for even the most accomplished angler. These Barbel are strong hard fighting fish that have probably never encountered a hook before, they will strip yards of line off you whilst heading for freedom.

Considering that our fishing has been restricted to during daylight hours only, we have enjoyed some cracking Barbel fishing. Our guests have had up to 35 fish averaging over 6lb in one day session and many double figure fish banked.
