Big barbel and chub late July
Latest
First 2 weeks of July 2022
Well due to illness plus the really hot weather I didn’t have too many angling adventures. Those that I did complete were pretty successful and I think there was only one blank. There were plenty of chub and a couple of double figure barbel caught in what is turning out to be a very difficult […]
