Barbel Fishing?

[BlackDog1 134]

Was just wondering if anyone could put me onto some good rivers/spots to fish for barbel in the orthopaedic of England ie Durham, Northumberland, North Yorkshire etc.

I know a lot of people don't like to share good fishing spots but I just thought I would ask, in the hope that somebody can point me in the right direction

 

Cheers

Cheers for the reply lads, I don't mind a drive if I'm going to get the sport. I've never fished for barbel but I'm really interested in them and would love to catch a few. I'm going to start fishing for them quite often.

 

Thanks again for the replies

I fish Durham area mate, join ferryhill angling club, will deffo not go wrong. £70 a year for three coarse lakes with a good head of carp, All in different areas as well as plenty barble and chub swims on a good stretch of river wear. Just heard a rumour of a recent 18lb barble.

Barble and chub seem to be in pockets, but if someone shows you around you will do fine.

You also get some of the river Tyne at Bellingham and heddo haughs and isle approx 3 mile.

Stretch of the river swale at catterick, and a stretch of the river tees approx 1.5 mile.

The stretch of the river wear they have is above and below Sunderland bridge, approx 7 mile.

For barble defiantly the river wear, its very underestimated and the fish are rearly fished for compared to some places. Atb

Asenby, walk above the island and fish a bag of pellets under the big willow trees on the far bank. Easy peasy.

I had a go on trent last night. had 9 chub. one barbel run and got snapped half way down hooklength so must have caught/rubbed summat. Then sat and watched a barn owl for ten mins this mornin in the field at the back of me so still worth the trip even tho no barbel.

Fished the swale a few days ago and got snapped. Can fish near catterick race course for £6 or the club I fish has a mile and a half. Will be back in next few days, really enjoyed it.
