Barbel Tales

Welcome to The Barbel Society

The Barbel Society is the national organisation for barbel anglers. The Research, Conservation & Lobbying section work in conjunction with other bodies such as the Angling Trust and the Environment Agency to protect and improve the river habitat for barbel.

Becoming a member instantly connects you to a huge network of anglers. Many members are more than happy to share their knowledge, and even meet up with anglers new to barbel fishing to spend time on the bank. Every year a number of fish-ins are held where members can meet up, exchange stories, make new friendships and spend some time fishing together.

Join Today

The Barbel Society membership year runs from June 16th to June 15th. Please note Barbel Society fisheries are not included in the membership fee and need to be purchased separately.
