HOW TO CATCH BIG BARBEL
There are many reasons why barbel are such a popular species with river anglers. First and foremost, they are well distributed across the country, thriving in all types of river from raging tidal waterways to intimate streams you could jump across. They are willing feeders in all but the coldest of weather and at all times of day and night. Once hooked, they are incredibly powerful fighters. Lastly, but most importantly for those anglers looking to catch their first barbel or increase their personal best, you only need the simplest of rigs to catch the biggest barbel in the land. This month we’ve employed the services of one of the country’s finest barbel anglers, 57-year-old Ade Kiddell, to talk readers through the simple rig and bait tactics that have seen him catch over four thousand barbel from more than thirty rivers around the UK and Europe over the past twenty years.
