You said it, not to detract from the days fly fishing adventure,  i know there are some big barbel in there at the moment, the 7ft flick stick is a must, but i am thinking if there is a real big one, perhaps the berkley air 9ft XH  :dunno:

I'm Taking a couple of plouncers and some artificials with a MH 7'2" stick and a Revo with braid. But first I want to try and Fly rod.

I suppose it depends on the size of the barbel?? Barbel will take most flies but if you want to actively target them you'll need bigger flies that push lots of water. Woolly Buggers, Half chickens etc.

Hee hee, good ninja edit there!!

hmmmm ... If I didn't have to work today, and if my wife wouldn't look strangely at me, then I MYSELF would be in the car already....no wait ....then I would've been at Eastco already!   :happ:
As a matter of fact ...if I knew about this sooner, I might have gone there today already with my caravan! ...oh well ...maybe in April ...  w;k
