Barbel Fishing - Targeting Small Rivers With James Champkin 

This a brilliant film. Well done. What an excellent angler. He clearly has a passion for it.

Nice video, thank you. This style of fishing takes me back to my childhood, think I’ve gotta have another go!

Minimal gear, and hauling a big heavy chair around, LOL! I used to do the same, but now take a cheap folding foam sit mat, or for real luxury, a Decathlon folding stool ;-) Great vid guys!

Brings back a lot of memories.nice one

Great video 👍🏻 Got to love a barbel 🎣

A friend of mine has had fantastic results with your baits on the Thames this season with double figure Barbel. I tried to copy his methods on my local small river at the weekend, 6 hours without a touch but when I fined down and went back to traditional baits I started hitting fish. I guess it is horses for courses!

Nice vid James hope to see you when tench season comes around. (Ben)

Cook your own hemp, it'll cost you 75% less. And if you make your own boilies/paste, again, you'll save nearly 50%. A word of warning here. Wearing shorts in long undergrowth, be careful, there may be ticks lurking.

What weight backlead do you use and what kind of hooklink do you use?

How fishing should be👍

Have a look at these ru-vid.com/group/PLq9u6IedE-U

nice river but you really dont need to use carp bait to catch wild fish in a little stream like that

Can't be a small river

Yawn
