Most dedicated barbel angler i know, reason i say this is because we chatted everything barbel on my local river 😳 shocked.. But what i found out is that James was more shocked to be noticed 😱 no pictures, autographs 😂 just living in the moment 💙 I'll never forget that day.. Genuine well spoken good guy/ambassador for river/barbel fishing.

Very kind of you! We are at the end of the day just fishermen doing what we love! Be good to see you on the bank in the future. 👌

@@ebbnflotheenviromanc1127 I thought it was mate, hope you are all good! How have you fared since we last met? I'll be popping up there at some point this season if I can pull away from work long enough to get up. Glad your baits are keeping you busy! Really appreciate it too, as you know just doing what we enjoy. Getting around, seeing different places and catching some fish along the way! 👌

James could you go through the barbel tackle you would use on the Ribble? Rods, reels, mainline, hooklength, hook etc? Do you use feeders or leads on the Ribble?

So, are you fishing free stretches of river? (I see that you mention at the end, you do, but free fishing is not available on most) I ask, as it must work out horrendously expensive joining clubs with rights to these rivers. And speaking for my local clubs that have rights on the two main rivers in Bedforshire, for the last few years, they sell out of club books very quickly before the start of the season.

[@James_Denison]

It's a good question and yes, I do have a fair few club memberships each season and I am spending quite a bit of money, but also some books I have are part of amalgamations and exchanges so it gives me within the cost of my books to fish other rivers or stretches that I'm yet to be successful on. Free fishing is limited as you say on many rivers and researching and tapping into friends advise and knowledge I pick and choose where I think I stand a chance of getting what I am after! There are a few books I've purchased that I've not even used. So that's money I've not even had the benefit of those. I am keeping tabs on what I've spent on books.
