Lodge Farm

[Tiger Nuts]

Hursty I went there the other day with my uncle, they have a barbel pond so in a desperate attempt to catch one I might go thre again and fish it. Hopefully there will be no flatfish in there.

Can anyone else read this post?

[andyoak]

Read what?

[Tiger Nuts]

Its Hursty he cant see this thread when he logs in for some reason.

We've just put another 1500 in the Don at Kilnhurst so you ought to be in with a chance soon

[Tiger Nuts]

The only way I will get one out of the Don is if I net it

I just go there to photograph Hursty's fish for him and have him take the p!55 when I catch a tiny little bream.

Anyhow now Im going to be unemployed I wont be going to lodge farm or anywhere for that matter.

Theres a thought why dont you offer unemployed folk a discount on the silver fish ticket

[webbedfeet]

A good idea in principle but it would cost us a fortune since almost all our silver fishers are either unemployed or 65+, or claiming some sort of benefit. Young anglers only fish for carp and barbel.

does that make me young then carl as I fish for carp. God I feel better now, I thought I was an old paper hat

[Tiger Nuts]

Your only as old as the woman you feel Andy and your lass is younger than you. Which is probably why you always look knackered, its not the hard work!

Good point Martin, kids just dont want to get out and fish too much happening on te TV.

Sorry mate but stillwater barbel don't count , they are like French carp . They can't count as your pb  got t be out of a river 

[Tiger Nuts]

Course they count, they count as still water barbel.

Still water perch dont count if that is the case only river perch.

French carp count as french carp

soz adi I'm with hursty, they don't count.

A true barbel needs to be from a river

effing purists come over to the darkside with me adi and fish cuttle mill/bluebell/cromwell

[Tiger Nuts]

Maybe they did come from a river Andy.

You can take a yorkshireman out of yorkshire and put him in London, does that make him a Londoner?

Anyhow it doesnt matter, if you catch a barbel from a pond you have caught a barbel, if you catch a flatfish in a freshwater river you have caught a flatfish. If you catch pox you have caught pox.

I have to agree, it may be harder to catch a barbel on a river than in a well stocked pond

Anyhow Hursty you should be nice to me or Im leaving you and you can walk home, and you can unhook your own pike, I risked my fingers for you today.

Oh and that pike wasnt a proper pond pike either as you caught it in a river so it doesnt count.
