I've not caught a Barbel since I was a schoolboy - I've been a couple of times fishing just for Barbel on the river Derwent at the weir in Darley Abbey I was thwarted as the river was somewhat in flood. I chatted to a fellow angler who came up regularly from London to fish the spot using boilies- he did say that when the water levels were high he would blank.
It's on my bucket list to catch a Barbel.
Sesman:
Ted.
Take a holiday in Yorkshire and fish the Derwent at Kirkham Abbey (10miles North of York on the A64) about 400 yards downstream on the bends. July/August is best in the early morning or late evening. Use luncheon meat or mussels on a hair rig.
Laverdaroo:
For guarenteed barbel, the trent is the only river I'd bet on for results, especially the tidal parts. I did an article for the angling times with Martin Bowler on one of my waters I had. Great fishing.
If you go to Newby Hall up in Yorkshire the section below the bottom weir is a banger of a spot and day tickets on the bank!! I'm not turning this into a 'Where to fish for Barbel' but if anybody wants directions or maps, drop me a pm, I've got loads from all over the county. One of my favourite quarries apart from Tench.
