Season`s Greetings to all of you who look in, and best wishes for the new year.

I can tell you, that this year has been a busy one! There have been fish-ins, and away days galore, & all have been really enjoyable experiences with familiar faces, & new friends made too.

Conservation wise, progress is always being made, and I feel privileged to have been invited to work with some great people from whom, I am always learning! I thank everyone for their continued participation in logging observations from our rivers, and ask you all to keep doing so…

Thanks also to the customers I have had the pleasure to meet and share some new ideas and advice with. It has been wonderful to spend the time with you.

Special mentions this year for (in no particular order);

Barbel Fishing Prince of the River (F.B)

The Teme Severn Study

The Barbel Society

The ABF Charity

And, all those friends who have contacted me personally to share thoughts, contribute observations, and ask advice and opinion.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

I attach this picture of one of a pair of “Christmas” Barbel I managed to catch yesterday, conditions look very Barbelish if you can get out over Christmas!!

Smile…its Christmas!!
