Have just bropught a Stockport Fed card (too cheap not to) and live a stones throw from the river. Barbel, apparently so according to some reports so worth a cast. Does anyone know anything about the place or plan to give it a go?

Had them out of the lower reaches of the Goyt up to 3 or 4lb but have heard of much better fish coming out here and there. Not sure how widespread they are but they are certainly up as far as the weir at Otterspool which is fishable on your Fed card.

Damo, have you found any yet?
I've been fishing the Goyt for 3 seasons now, mainly around the Marple area, and still no sniff of a barbel: I've had everything else but! So, if you (or anyone else out there) do find them I'd really appreciate some pointers, it's becoming personal  There's rumours of two decent fish coming out from the Marple area recently, but so far all I can find is chub and the odd monster trout and grayling...Any help gratefully received!

Well done, i'm hoping for a bit more rain to freshen things up a bit, but its great to be able to catch Barbel on a once poulluted river.

Too true, it's a special satisfaction catching on the Goyt - I've had some wonderful fish out: grayling to 2lb, trout to 5.03 (and seen bigger ones), fairly regular chub to over 5lb, the odd decent roach, some perch and I've seen pike though never caught one there. And to think that not long ago the river used to run different colours every day depending on what the dye-works were producing... Apparently the trout won't be safe to eat for another 50 years though, due to all the heavy metal poisoning that's been suffered - but the streamer weed is coming back. And the salmon are returning: Amazing!
