Prize Fish of 2012
Phil Smith has a day to remember on the Lower Derwent

DCAC appreciate the need to handle all fish as well as barbel in a safe way as to ensure that all fish that are returned have the maximum chance of survival.

The Barbel Society has set out some guidance which our members are invited to follow even though some of the suggestions are not currently in our rules. The guidance is the opinion of the Barbel Society and not that of DCAC.
