I've always wondered if barbel were introduced in the wye or migrated from the seven the guys from the 60s swear by it,I got the the impression many where responsible as I know the Ribble barbel originated from the seven, as a 10yr old I witnessed in the early 70s,I'd be surprised how many originated from the seven down the west side of England

[@FreddysHamster]

Well they won't have come from the Seven unless they came from the sea and back up the Severn Estuary, because the Seven is in North Yorkshire and flows into the Rye then eventually the Derwent, which flows into the Ouse and out the Humber, so it would be a long trip.

How quickly do the mesh bags dissolve? Thanks.

[@ozosmanlitorunu]

The water temperature is a factor. They dissolve quicker in warmer water but generally I think they completely dissolve in less than a minute.

Why do people buy ready cooked hemp? Crazy!

[@DynamiteBaitsTV]

Because then its cooked to perfection like our particles! a lot of people dont get time to cook their own and also maybe dont want the risk of cooking it for the right length of time etc.

[@chrisguygeezer]

@@DynamiteBaitsTV 😆 Don't get time? Put in soak overnight, bring to boil, summer for five minutes.... It's done. Add any flavouring you like. You make it sound like those TV chefs, suggesting we have such busy lifestyles, we ain't got time to boil an egg. 😂

[@strickostricko]

Why do people buy takeaways?! 🙃. 🤡

[@FreddysHamster]

Cos it's only 12 green queen's a tub, what's not to like 😂

[@dpmaspam]

it smells horrible cooking it

[@pizzypass3989]

"You got to do your homework" and run away from the Kennet??

[@carlos777uk]

Yes because the Kennet is almost barren now.
