Anyone Fishing For Barbel..?

As above good post.if water is clear I us Korea is for hook links,sometimes 4ft tails.when water carrying colour around 14 inches.lead core leader or tungsten tubing pin down mainline,free running gripper lead, pva mesh bags with Pelet or bollies, sometimes use the big 5 oz feeders with a pellet/ground bait mix,jazz that up with some halibut or fish oil.find your swim and wait.I take a few pics on weekend.

Ok mate nice one, I'm guessing you have your bait runner on or do you just use drag? How long does the tungsten tubing need to be?

 

Cheers, Alan.

If the rain has come your way like they were forecasting Id guess itd be higher again come saturday? We have had some right gales here last 12 hours, no rain with it though.

If I can hold bottom,I will catch pal,wye can go up or dwn 6ft in a few hrs/half a day,just got to know where the fish will be,there was a few braving the elements yesterday,when it's roaring I use straight lead and pva bag of goodies,some paste around hook bait and around the lead as well .my two mates lost some tackle but I didn't lose so much as a hookink,fishing right under my feet and not in main flow,tightlines pal.atb dc
