About the crucians, they are so prolific that they almost pushed the native species almost to extintion. The tench is one that use to live in all rivers and lakes, but now they are found in only a few places. Though I've heard some incuraging report…
Hi Paul,
The river is not so big, maybe 30-40yards.
The barbel population is ok, not large shoals of fish (maybe up to 10-12 individuals) up to 8lbs, but they are spread allover the river. The reasoning for that is, I think, there are only a few pla…
Mihai,
I love reading your posts about Barbel fishing in a different country...........please keep posting !!!!
How big is the river you fish ? And is the population of Barbel large ?
The reason for my question being, that 'sorting out' the larger f…
Hi guys,
Yesterday I was barbel fishing. I couldn't find them. I think they hedded to the spawning places.
But the crucians were a plague. The river is full of them. Every cast they were chopping the luncheon meat like mad. Only 2 small chub have pl…
Hi John,
Yes I fish at night but only in the summer and autum. This is becouse in winter the barbel go down the river into a big reservoir where they spend the winter becouse the river get iced for manny miles.
Here luncheon meat is not used as it i…
Curried luncheon meat is a very good bait but I am surprised it has only worked for you in the summer. In England it is a popular bait in the winter in flood water when the rivers are coloured by rain water. In general luncheon meat works best in ei…
Hi Paul,

Mihai,
John is right sometimes bigger baits deter smaller fish, but occasionally they just wittle the bait down until its small enough to get into their mouths, so it is better to get a harder consistency in your paste or use a tougher bait. Cheese…
Hi John, thanks for the tip. Here, the cheese works best for barbel. I understand that in UK cheesepaste is better for chub.
As for returning the fish back to their domaine, I think they are to beautyfull to kill. And to me killing a beautyfull crea…
Hi Mihai
Welcome, good to hear about barbel fishing in other countries and also good to hear that some anglers are returning fish, they dont get to grow so big if everyone kills all the fish.
In coloured water i would always favour smelly baits and…
Hi, I used to fish like this 2 seassons ago. I would turn at the water bait a swim that produced a fish or two at one time and wait for the fish to come and have lunch or dinner. After half a dozen blanks I thought that something have to change if I…
