Your are certainly having a good time of it mate keep em coming,i like Skipton but only had two fish in 4 sessions but after 3 blanks at various places Nidd twice which is 110 mile round trip and asenby which is about 60 but who cares i will keep going until i get my first barbel i think i am doing everything right,right baits and rigs etc so it will happen.

Some nice swims at Skipton but for some reason the barbel don't seem to be there in numbers. Ive had the odd one and thats about it , but chub like the one you've just had will be well worth targeting in winter , a 5lb summer chub is a big old fish.
Regards Mick.

i have had ten blank sessions.. two on the swale at myton and asenby.. and eight on the river wear in durham but i believe that putting the hours in shortens the odds thats why i do twelve hr sessions... your first barbel will come soon paul keep using spam as it never lets me down. 90% of my chub and barbel have been caught using it. my first barbel 8yr ago  |

If you include a few photos in your posts, to me it just makes for a more entertaining read.
Keep the reports coming, it can only be of benefit to other anglers.

I remember going to this place 20 years ago before the internet and no map book going round and round in circles trying to find that place getting hopelessly lost! I have fished it but likewise very chubby area. Its middle swale not easy for barbel I think. Do you have to be off there at a certain time still as there is a gate there? I think someone got locked in once. Nice pictures Ian might have a trip there again sometime.

yes mate it gets locked up at about 10 there is a barrier i think it is locked by a worker, as there is a poultry/egg business down there but its a lovely spot and usually have it to yourself,

and Asenby which is about 60 but who cares i will keep going until i get my first barbel i think i am doing everything right,right baits and rigs etc so it will happen. So Paul told me yesterday the happy day had arrived at last at Asenby a few days ago!! Congratulations on the first of what i'm sure will be many great Yorkshire beasts! |

A nice chub you've got there Ian, I had a couple of smallish barbel out of peg 1 a couple of seasons ago but apart from a few chub I've had very little else. I find it a hard stretch to catch on. Those jack pike are a nuisance, I've lost a few feeders to them following in.

You are more persistent than I ever could be . If I have more than 2 blanks in succession I change venue and/or species as not catching fish is just that to me- not catching .And I fish to catch ! |
