background
Barbel Fishing World (BFW) was established in 1996 by Andy Frances
and was originally intended as a hobby. When the site first
went live, bfw had just a handful of members who visited
and posted on the message boards as well as contributing
articles and details of their catches. Through the continued
support of these visitors and many new members over the years,
bfw has become established as the most popular barbel site
on the web!
The site has evolved and expanded massively since then
and in 2003 Claire (Andy's wife) took over the day-to-day management
of the site and online shop as a full time concern. Claire
is now on maternity leave so the reignes are back in
Andy's hands.
Through its lifetime, BFW has been aided by a small team
of devoted barbel anglers who volunteer their time freely to
ensure the site remains one of the best on the internet (click
here to meet the team).
bfw aims and objectives
At bfw we simply aim to provide the barbel angler with
a complete barbel fishing resource, completely free of charge.
This includes a world of quality barbel fishing related
information from barbel tackle reviews, barbel articles, barbel
forums, up to the minute reports on your local rivers and a
secure online shop stocked with everything you will need to
go barbel fishing.
We are always looking at ways of improving BFW so if
you would like to help or and have any suggestions, please
get in touch.
The bfw ethos is simple. We want as many people to enjoy
the beauty of barbel fishing as possible. We are non-political
and therefore do not have policies or an official agenda.
We allow freedom of speech on the bfw message boards
and encourage variety of opinion. We do ask that you respect
the work we do by contributing in a way that does not offend
other visitors.
