Since appearing on Sky TV’s Tight Lines programme with Keith Arthur a few weeks ago I’ve received a huge number of enquiries asking me to explain in detail my barbel rigs and bait presentations.

Those Were The Days I’m guessing that I fished my first club match when I was 12, maybe thirteen. Toll Bar Angling Club was typical of hundreds of similar clubs in the north of England. Members tended to come from a fairly small geographical area, were fiercely loyal and funded fishing trips by coach to [...]

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 [...]

During the final weeks of the season it is probably easier to catch a big river perch than at any other time. Why? Because location is easier and feeding times are predictable. Big perch are nomadic in summer, as eager to swim in the fastest current as haunt the deepest eddy as they seek out [...]
