I fished this stretch hard since christmas, averaging 3 short evening sessions a week, and had some cracking chub sport, but i failed to even hook in 2 any Barbel.

 I have not seen this stretch in summer, but can someone tell me what sort of summer form it has for Barbel?  Is there any particular swims that are better then others?  And when the water is low (i.e normal summer conditions) is there much flow.

 I have fished throop for years but now want a different challange, but i would like to know if there is a big enough head of barbel in the free stretch to make it worth specifically targeting them.  If so, what size do they run to?

So many questions i know, but if you don't ask, you don't get i suppose. 

Many thanks, and i would apreciate all the help and advice that comes my way.

 Thanks again,

DannyT
