Seeing as the 16th is fast approaching this may be a good time to whet your appetite with a couple of pics of my first ever River session and my brace of double figure Barbel.

I promise you have never felt a fight like a River Barbel.....my best ever fishing session ever :fsm:

COULDN'T AGREE MORE. I CAUGHT QUITE A FEW DOUBLES ON THE TIP (RIVER WESER, GERMANY) NO FRESHWATER FISH COME CLOSE FOR POUND FOR POUND FIGHT

Nice one Sanste, have you got all your gear ready for the 16th then? And i suppose you'll be on the bank at 2am getting the best swim?

Got no River gear Viv....I was lucky enough to be loaned all that was required and given "lessons" on the day by some old weird looking geezer :fsm:

Don't care (but certainly would given the chance) if I never fish a River again after that day.
