How to Catch BARBEL in Floodwater Conditions!

If you're not confident fishing in floodwater conditions - Join me to see how I read the river conditions and flow, select a peg and approach fishing for barbel when river levels are high.

This video originated from a conversation in a local tackle shop where a guy I was talking didn't know how to adapt to fishing in floodwater or when the level is high. Hopefully this video will help if you are unsure and give you some extra confidence to go out and get a few bites in these conditions.

The equipment & bait I used is as follows -

Rods - Korum 1.75lb TC Barbel Rods
Reels - Shimano ST4000 Baitrunners
Line - ESP Syncro 12lb
Rigs - Running rig with 8lb flouro hooklength
Hook - Size 8 wide gape

Bait - CKO 14mm pellets from Vortex Baits plus luncheon meat soaked in CKO liquid food.

Hope the video helps.
