Barbel Fishing | How To Catch Barbel | Alan Stagg
Barbel Fishing | How To Catch Barbel | Alan Stagg
Alan Stagg is no stranger to catching monster Barbel and Chub from rivers such as the Thames and the Hampshire Avon. In this film we challenged Alan to step outside his comfort zone and catch his first Barbel from a new river.
Alan runs through his chosen rigs, tackle, bait and how he locates fish from a stretch he has never seen before.
Thanks to Adam Fisher and Angling Dreams for allowing us to visit and film on their fabulous Lower Hill Court section of the River Wye: www.anglingdreams.co.uk/

    I have these for my traces. I'm also going to be using one for my Barrbel rigs as they are obviously wider than the small EVA winders, which means less coil memory on them. Great product 👌🏻👍🏻🎣💥

    New to the hobby. Went shopping today to get a feeder rod and a reel, but the guy sold me korum barbel 12ft 2lbs and guru n gauge 4000 reel. I feel like its way too heavy. Which rod would you recommended? Going to be fishing Wyre river

    Nice video mate! Love the videography, you obviously put a lot of effort into it! I live on the wye at Hereford, been struggling a bit this year. I’ve been using coated braid for years for the abrasion resistance and size 6 hooks big baits. Going to try scaling down pretty sure it’s what I’m doing wrong! Thanks mate given me the confidence to try a different approach ☺️

    That reel looks a little sad , & line looks low on spool , but hey if it’s not broke doesn’t need fixing! Personally I think to many people change line unnecessarily so due to pressure from tackle manufacturers, on you tube! LOL , good video apart from an unmentioned certain river that is the biggest & best 4 barbel !

    Lads, not the time to be putting barbel fishing on the map 👍 we got barbel floating downstream in the northwest because of idiots catching barbel in hot conditions.🔥They are a member of the carp family but they connot take the heat of summer months.. Probably best mentioning these points in your videos. 👍

    • @TargetSpecimen
      @TargetSpecimen 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment. It's worth mentioning that this film was shot a number of weeks ago. If you flick back through the film you can see that Alan is wearing a fleece in a couple of scenes, which reflects the weather conditions during making this film. If we had any concerns over low D/O levels and the welfare of Barbel then we would have not made the journey.
