@lukkbox watched the vid on your channel Whattafish!!! congratulations.
my local river is "flyfishing only" due to the large population of browntrout but there are some very good barbel in there too.
started going after barbel a few years ago, using nymphs on a 5lb cast.
it was a bit tricky at first but as time rolled on i became quite adept at it. 12 pounder was the best one so far and it took half an hour to land
if you can handle a flyrod try it,you wont regret it.
tight lines.....

@fsilva impressive video!!!
have never seen or heard of a Barbel taking a dryfly before.
Until now i´ve believed this to be an impossibility as they are strictly bottom feeders.
Like to fish for them on my local river using weighted nymphs, size 8
Happy New Year.

first time i ever seen or heard of a barbel being taken on a fly, fantastic skill mr silva!
come to my channel and see a short video of the 16lb barbel i caught a few weeks ago :O)
Thank you.
I must say that fishing is exciting. Unfortunately only is effective the late spring until September/ October.
Happy New Year.
