Barbel Record
 

On Saturday 11th Feb 2006 myself (Ron Evans) and fellow member Terry Sheedy paid a visit to the Lower Derwent, Borrowash, which produced several quality fish.

  Terry had three barbel, one of 12lb 12oz (pictured above and below), 9lb 1oz (lower photo) and 7lb 4oz on swim feeder and maggot. Terry's first fish of 12lb 12oz took a double maggot on a size 18 hook on 2.6lb bottom, he had to take his time with this one.
