I've fished for barbel for many years but never in a weir pool. I'm lucky that I have one local to me on the Thames that may have a few possibly big barbel and carp living in it during the summer months.
I went for a walk down there last night and couldn't decide where I would target. The pool is quite deep, wide and long with fishing from one bank only. It will be a boilie and halibut pellet attack with beefy gear for chuck to the far side where the sluice gates are along a wall until it finally runs out on a wide shallow.
Last night though I could not decide where to concentrate. I'll pre bait with a spomb for a few days and unsure whether to stay close to the sill or fish the tail end. Flow is minimal and it is quite deep till it tails out. Bream may be a problem but hopefully they will be in the main river.
Any thoughts?
