Following my trip to the Goyt I've had a further two afternoon trips after barbel, one to the River Severn and one to the River Derwent, unfortunately neither lived up to my hopes and I left with no fish caught but as always there is always another day.

I have two dates in my diary for arranged talk/slideshow where I am the guest speaker. These can be great fun and a good way to meet potential new friends and contacts so it could be worth your effort to attend. My problem is that I need to sort out a new Powerpoint presentaion to give to the guests that come along, not too much of a problem once I've decided on the theme. Since it is a Barbel Society evening I will use barbel as the subject, I'll go into how I approach my fishing when travelling to so many different venues all over the country in the search for double figure barbel. With 22 rivers now completed it should be interesting to say the least.
