In South Africa they have a number of Barbus species that are very closely related to our oown native barbel. Many of these fish now inhabit still waters such as large reseviors. In them they grow to vaery large sizes and provide sport of the finest kind. I've caught Smallmouth Yellowfish in stillwaters up to 18 pounds that have fought magnificently. I wonder what would happen if we stocked some of our larger reserviors with barbel. Would they do better than in rivers? I ask this knowing that there are some smaller commercials with barbel in them.
