Would just like to say thanks to the Bailiff for pointing me towards the L.A.A. water at the back of Hartham Common. Fished in the weir with luncheon meat (well, spam, to be precise), and caught my first Barbel. Got a pic, but in my excitement, forgot to wiegh it, though I don't suspect he was specimin size!
Nevermind, suppose I have no choice but to go back at some point

Thinking of visiting Dobbs and Fieldes Weir too. Have heard there are barbel in both, but can anyone confirm?
