sumone mentioned earlier that a lot of carp anglers have taken too barbel fishing..well it got me thinking as a speci m8 of mine suggested we go hunt sum barbel as one of my clubs has a half decent river..i said no ta..give me sum roach gudgeon and skimmers any day of the week,he was gobsmacked!! i just aint interested in barbel..ive had a few over the years but it dont float my boat..as i was once a match angler, but been carping for the last 20 yrs,what im trying to say here is,once match angling is in your blood it stays there,and you will always go back.

I have only ever caught a barbel in a lake and it was about a pound 
Lee Woodhouse knows some good places on the river seven and helped a few blokes catch their first barbel.

i used to fish the river seven regular. some good noted areas and pegs to.
Johnny brights ford / wrens nest / harris pegs / the rock and stump pegs at quatford, Knowle Sands christmas tree sections and many more.the best tho was the whitehouse at the Dannery
and if you want to catch a load of barbel to 5lb get yourself off to cudmore on the match pools 5-6 6meters with meat
