Only taken a trillion visits to catch another R.Blackwater, this river really is a joy to be beside, the nature present is as good as you could ask to see anywhere in the country, the Barbel however have been really challenging as most of you who regularly follow my ramblings will know. When you do catch they are stunning fish and always pristine, but with the Otters ever present how long will fish like this be around for?
A typical trip unfolded where I opted to move around and fished just about every good looking spot I could, most have never yielded a touch but this trip just proved why you should always at least try for 20/30 mins, this beauty wasn't weighed but deserved a mat shot and quipped in my mind how many months will it take to find another.

Anyway, I'll take what I can on this ever more difficult river before a double is found and landed.
Some fish are special no matter the weight. Hard earned reward there (and I’m sure you’ll find a double soon).
ReplyDeleteI know I just have to keep going regardless of the time involved. But you are right, any Barbel off there is a massive result.
DeleteWell done. Might be a tough one to crack.
ReplyDeleteI think it really will be, but I can only try and find them.
DeleteKeep on keeping on
ReplyDeleteThat's most certainly the plan, best time of the year is upon us now too!
DeleteKeep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Adam, I will certainly try to, one day I will get this and the Blackwater chalked off and get me just that little bit closer to completing my challenge.
