He pole-fished pellet to the trees for a mixed bag of carp, ide, barbel and chub. |
The lower jaw of the haddock is slightly shorter than the upper jaw and the fish has a small single barbel. |
Chub and barbel may also make the same migrations, although to a lesser extent. |
Later on I used the same technique on rivers for chub and barbel and also on lakes for bream. |
In winter it was fantastic fishing roach, chub, silver bream and slabs with the odd barbel and carp. |
This small section of water holds typical Thames weir stream species such as chub, barbel and dace. |
