You were there first Mick so you will get the credit. I will do them when I get home.

BARBEL Mick

Have to ask, is your name to do with the quarry you go after ? ( opps, that may be a large pit !!!)

Barbel Mick · « **Reply #167 on:** July 21, 2016, 14:40:46 »

Correct! Fishing is one of my other hobbies and although I enjoy catching anything, Barbel are a favourite! Unfortunately not having a great deal of luck this season!

Not a bivvy person then !!!!
I am an ardent Match angler, have been for years and years and years, too many to remember, but like bikes, never got fed up with it.

Barbel Mick · « **Reply #169 on:** July 21, 2016, 18:40:04 »

Have been known to do a 'few' overnighters after the Barbel but under an umbrella if raining!
Used to be a big match fisherman in the 70's/80's in the good old days of the rivers & canals but packed up when the kids came along!!
When I started again 15 or so years back didn't like the commercial fishery idea (although I do fish them occasionally) so got into the Barbel.
Still enjoy running a stick float through for a Roach or three.

This is going to hurt.
I live close to a place called MONKS LAKES, and fish a few opens there, one lake has a high stocking of barbel, my god, they are so fit, and in such good condition. a 3lb one fights like a 10lb carp. I have had a fair few weight of them, but must confess, getting them out of a river is so much better.

Barbel Mick · « **Reply #171 on:** July 22, 2016, 17:04:56 »

Heard of Monks Lakes, pretty famous commercial! I know some say Barbel shouldn't be in still waters but if they're looked after they seem to do OK. I would much prefer catch them from a river though.

Came across this one today while out enjoying myself. On the A 619 as you leave Baslow towards chatsworth. Derbyshire. No signs but will keep looking.

Cock bridge Derwent Valley
Another one I tried to find today was on the list was cock bridge , hope Derbyshire. Not able to photograph as it's at the bottom of ladybower reservoir that was built in the 1940 's along with cock bridge farm, derwent and ashopton village . The photo was taken from the new ladybower bridge and cock bridge would be on the left as you go over the bridge to Glossop ( the snake ). A bit of history and hope you didn't get to bored .

Got to take my hat off to you on that one, been up there twice to look for it and failed!!
Figured that it was no longer 'there' but thought there would be some indication, couldn't find anything so congratulations from me, well deserved!!

Can we add FRY UP to the list?

MartinW · « **Reply #177 on:** July 31, 2016, 20:17:53 »

Fry Up ??? Where's that then?

MartinW · « **Reply #178 on:** July 31, 2016, 20:50:44 »

All caught up.

Credit added for all the real ones

As for 650XT Pete, get the bike in the reservoir and you can have a credit

I cannot believe how many of these are recorded in the first post now. Great work everyone.
