I've been toying with having a `day-out' somewhere else - so, what I'm looking for are recommendations for some day-ticket Barbel fishing. I'm not bothered about the size of fish - I just want a prolific stretch of river (the more prolific the better!) within a couple of hours drive of North Herts, which I guess means the Teme, Severn, Avon(s)..? Basically I'm looking for the direct opposite of my normal sessions (biteless hours above Bedford!).. Cheers, Declan

Scuba Steve is your man, he's knowledgable, helpful, friendly, witty and very good looking

Some guy and his son caught over 200 barbel in a weekend to 12lbish not long back..... Ian.

I'd forgotten all about that picture Two can play at this game, I just wish you had kept it to the *other* site. Steve www.caravanonthesevern.co.uk

Maybe i'll try the Ouse during daylight hours the rest of the week as suggested by "Howsie - Prince of Darkness" What kind of conditions should I expect on the Severn? - I don't even own a lead bigger than 2.5oz! Cheers, Declan

Its a few foot up at the moment, which is good You might need a few bigger leads, maybe 3-4 oz, depending on the swims you fish. Like I said in my PM, give me a shout back and we can talk more, if you want. Steve www.caravanonthesevern.co.uk

Posts: 1029 (28/11/06 20:57) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I'd like to say a big THANKYOU to Steve Williams for taking me under his wing on the Severn yesterday.. In terms of successful guiding I don't think Trefor West has anything to worry about just yet (only kidding Steve!), but I had a great day, topped off with a monster Severn Barbel.. From what Steve tells me it was probably a river record. In fact i'd go so far as to say that Graham King should hide his head in shame catching those tiddlers up at Adams.. Sorry about that last bit - I think that the midlands air has affected my powers of judgement - i've just lost the plot! Anyway, thanks again Steve - anytime you fancy a blank on the Ouse just let me know! (by the way, when I fished it today it had burst it's banks - made the Severn look like a ditch!) Declan
