Had barbel into double figures from my local River Wear but more recently I've been catching them on the Tees, Swale, Ure and Wharfe. Also enjoy catching chub, grayling, carp and sometimes have a go for pike. PB's (one's worth mentioning):- Barbel 10-14 (Wear) Chub 5-8 (Wear) Carp 20-4 (Local lake) Roach 2-1 (Local Lake) Work at Newcastle University designing new SONAR technology and subsea communication gadgets - so I've devoted most of my life to water one way or another.
