Three members of the Barbel Society are currently planning for a task to take place over 14 days in which they will attempt to capture 14 double figure barbel from 14 English rivers, one from each river.
Jerry Gleeson, Baz Fisher and Paul Bennett aim to fish from August 8th 2013 from some of the following rivers, the list will change nearer the time.
Swale, Trent, Dove, Derwent, Ribble, Goyt, Sow, Severn, Anker, Teme, Kennet, Lodden, Kentish Stour, Rother, Medway, Sussex Ouse, Hampshire Avon
