Welcome to Issue Six of Think Fishing, one that was particularly memorable for me personally. There isn’t much opportunity for me to catch any stillwater barbel near where I live in Bristol, so when the chance came to have a crack at the The Weir pool, at Weston Pools in Shropshire, I jumped at the chance and thought it would make for an interesting issue of Think Fishing.

 

Not only would a net of stillwater barbel be a rare treat for me, but showing you how I go about approaching a venue I’ve never even fished or seen before would be interesting from your point of view – with so many new fisheries popping up all over the country, there’s a good chance many of you will be visiting a fishery for the first time in the not too distant future.

 

So I hope you enjoy this issue; we filmed it on the hottest day of the year so far, which was a real test for me and the crew, but in the end I had one of the best day’s fishing I’ve ever had on a commercial.
