| | THE ULTIMATE BARBEL EXPERIENCE |
 | | I have yet to encounter a barbel that is capable of breaking 10.Lb ESP, but the extra thickness of 12.Lb increases my comfort zone when fishing near concrete. | | | I fish the Derbyshire Dove and even a 6 or 7.Lb barbel in here is capable of breaking 8.Lb line with the utmost ease. | | | The use of appropriate tackle is only the beginning; that very first step along the pathway to successful snag-swim fishing. |

| | Winter barbel fishing by Graham Marsden |
| | Obviously, conditions are, as always, the governing factor, and a set of poor conditions over these last few weeks of the season will have the same degenerating affect on the fishing as ever. | | | The choice on the upper Severn is to either fish the more prolific swims for perhaps half a dozen barbel in the 5lb to 7lb bracket in a day. | | | Any kind of action, however, could be an indication that the hemp, and any other feed you have introduced, is being consumed, and therefore needs to be topped up. |

| | Stef Horak may be able to do it, but I was faced with hard evidence that most of us aren’t capable of his artistry with size 20 hooks to 1lb line. | | | It’s odd really because at first in my short barbel-angling career I was quite happy using sweetcorn, as advocated by my mentor, a very experienced barbel angler from Builth Wells called Peter Smith. | | | I am also aware of the fallibility of memory so I always keep notes whilst fishing, and then I can make reasonably valid comparisons of the relative effectiveness of methods I employ. |

| | The problem is that the feeding spell will often be very short and so the little and often baiting will not work. | | | In winter, one or more of these factors cannot be satisfied and this technique then becomes much less effective. | | | Most baits have some smell to them, but just think how easier it would be for the fish to locate the bait if there was a strong flavour trail for them to follow. |

| | Mouth sores and any wounds found on the body may be treated with solutions such as Kryston Klinic, available from good tackle shops or antiseptic creams such as adcortyl-in-orabase, which is available from chemists. | | | Fish are invariably able to rid themselves of air naturally and poking around with tubes or massaging fish could cause internal damage. | | | The use of plastic tubing or other mechanical devices to try and release what may be perceived to be trapped air in barbel is not recommended. |

| | He had also tried luncheon meat, but experienced the same as I, he could feel barbel picking the bait up only to reject it immediately. | | | Clearly the barbel were still interested in the meat, but for some reason were not willing to take it properly and I believe it was because they had been hooked on it before. | | | Perhaps flavoured meat would have brought a response, but we didn't have any and were forced to try other baits. |

| | No, the explanation was much simpler – the conditions were right for barbel, and so that was the species I decided to fish for. | | | With three barbel, plus the bream and numerous chub, I had been busy enough during the session, as the fish had been well spread out time-wise. | | | However, as it turned out, when I did cast out for the first time - while it was still light - I connected very quickly with a barbel that weighed in at just a shade over 6lb. |

| | Although some barbel are caught in deep, sluggish stretches of water, it is the clear, fast-flowing reaches which hold the greatest numbers. | | | When hooked, a barbel uses pure muscle power in the swift current to create an awe-inspiring, charging fight which will leave you breathless or fishless, depending on whether you are tackled up to cope with trying to stop a veritable steam train! | | | In England - where the species is so popular that a Barbel Society has been formed for enthusiasts - barbel often grow to more than 15lb (6.8kg). |
