The last two weeks of the season - and a misty start gave way to a sunny afternoon - time to stock up on that barbel pull before three months without! And eight barbel found the net - brilliant!!
It's left me with a bit of a dilemma; I was going to spend the last few sessions tracking down a fat Spring dace - but 237 barbel is really close to 250 barbel - and it has been kind of a barbely season...

I'd go for the dace personally, but then Barbel are addictive especially when you have them in decent numbers down where you are....Any plans for the closed season ?
ReplyDeleteThose dace are tempting, but difficult to extract from the hordes of hungry trout - one last go!
DeleteNo plans for the closed season - the only ‘local’ water that is open is a carp pond, but it’s very busy, every peg occupied - and like you I try to avoid the crowds. Might do a bit of fly fishing - bet those trout won’t be so easy then!
1st World problems.. enjoy what ever you do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, first world problems :-) But only 10 days left of the season...
