No judging by the HDYGO post by Nottskev.
the trent is still a stronghold,long may it remain so.
Pete, doing it like that implies it's a good Barbel river.shhhhhhhhhhhhh! View attachment 6482 :wh ONLY JOKING.
Your take on Barbel anglers seems a little far away from the Barbel anglers that frequent the streams and rivers that I fish.
However they are nearly all club owned and we keep the riff-raff out
There are large Roach, Dace, Perch, Chub and a few good Carp and many other equally sought after fish in my local Stream/river as well as Barbel (thankfully otters have not yet taken up residence) and nearly all of us love targeting different species during different parts of the year including the smaller species like Dace and Roach, (mostly because they grow fairly large in the stream/river anyway).
The club that owns the fishing rights has installed natural looking flow changing barriers along the length to ensure that the gravel bottom is not covered in silt during low flows and the wild life in and around the river is abundant, and all the members have all put a lot of effort into making it a lovely place to fish.
