Migratory Behaviour In Barbel
A question was raised recently on the Fishing Magic web site relating to the movements of barbel by ‘Neneman Mick’. Rather than post this lot into the thread I’ve decided to park it here and if the barbel nuts out there want to know the answers then here they are. He Asked: I was [...]

Read the inside story… It’s barely a year since Stu (Walker) announced that he was going to film our sturgeon adventure. He’d bought a camcorder, read the instruction manual and was raring to go.
