Par For The Course – Carping with Allan Parbery It’s a few years since I did any serious carp fishing but I have to say I do enjoy it, especially if I can get into the right mindset. Most of my recent carping has been short session stuff, mostly stalking or floater fishing so when [...]

In the past decade I’ve been priviledged to travel half way round the world and back again with Stu Walker. Quite recently we began filming our adventures, just to create an unforgettable memoir. This in turn led to us making the critically acclaimed barbel Days And Ways series of DVD’s which feature some of the most [...]

Settle down, make yourself comfortable and prepare to be filled with disbelief, for the tale I am about to tell will be doubted far and wide but I swear to you, every word is true. I haven’t been taking mind altering drugs or even hitting the whisky bottle, this is simply an account of the [...]

New Season News Well the long wait is finally over. As June 16th approached I was buzzing to get out on the rivers and start fishing again. Quite what made me so excited this year I haven’t a clue but I was straining at the leash as the big day approached. My main desire was to dig [...]

You know, I had a brilliant time at the Barbel Society’s ‘Running Water 2010′ show on Sunday despite the attendance appearing to be well down on recent years. With Dave Chilton (Kryston) and Gary Knowles on the stand next door the insults were always going to be be flying thick and fast. But I guess what [...]

Sorry about the delay in publishing this March Blog but I’ve been doing far too much fishing of late and when time can be freed up the paid work has to come first. I have to pay the bills somehow! If the writing appears rushed or the imagery falls below the normal high standards I [...]

After reading Part One I’m sure that some of you were left thinking, “Is that it? Surely there’s more to it than that! It’s not fair! You must be keeping a secret up your sleeve…” But the plain truth is, no, I’m not holding anything back. There is no Holy Grail out there; there is no [...]

Some Like It Hot… Work on the next volume of Barbel Days And Ways continues apace and the schedule is becoming demanding. It’s also pretty punishing in the heat. Stu and I slipped down to the Welsh borders hoping to fill our boots on the Wye but to say the conditions were against us would [...]

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. We thought he was slightly mad. Surely you had to have some talent to make a movie? The planning meeting [...]

As you will see from the free DVD clips, Barbel Days and Ways provides a unique insight into the life and feeding habits of the barbel. Using state of the art technology, the cameras get closer than ever before to barbel as they feed, and then bolt as they feel the steel. Add to this [...]
