A question was raised a while back regarding whether there are any barbel in the Nene. (Dan Whitelock)

I can confirm that around 12 to 15 years ago 400 barbel of around 8 oz each were introduced in to this river by the environment agency (or whoever it was then) near Oundle. This was witnessed by my father and brother who were working alongside the river at the time.

I caught a small barbel of around 2 lbs last year whilst... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (stuart eyles) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/2871 Mon, 17 Sep 2001 17:32:09 GMT http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/2872/t/Hooklengths.html
When ledger fishing I tend to use a hooklength of approx 24 to 30 inches,I occasionally reduce this to about a foot,in hope that when using a lighter bait ie casters,that it that it keeps the hookbait closer to the bottom,usually dependant on the flow.I would much appreciate any advice as to using a longer hooklength,I have considered going up to possibly 5 or 6 ft and was wondering what your views, or possible experiences of a long hooklegth might be.

I just remembered on the Loddon 10 years ago they were an excellent ledgered bait, with hard takes.

Anyone using them as hookbait this Autumn?

Lots and lots of comments on the safe handling and return of barbel. In view of this can I suggest that a safe handling article is prepared for this site. Quite a task, but a worthy one, plenty of pictures - any volunteers?

Cheers

Martin Ford is giving a talk and slide show on fishing the Trent using "The Method".
I'm assuming this is the method feeder which could cause some lively debate.
If anyone is interested in going I will post directions if required.

The world is not big enough to hide for the perpitrators.

The above are probably my favourite particle, hmmm on stillwaters. I just do not seem to be able to get them to work on rivers.

Flavoured, spiced, natural and dyed. Tried adding sugar, honey, marmite, hemp water, hemp and more than I can remember BUT I can't get barbel interested in them !

Has anyone managed too ?
