Feedback & Reports

Baits used were pellet and meat.
The barbel was tempted with a hinders barbel bomb pellet. It came in an 5lb and 10ozs.
Quite overcast today with the odd attempt at a rain shower. Fantastic to see a number of pairs of kingfishers skimming the surface up and down the river on Beat 2.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

Started with pellet and paste but switched to meat. We had 1.5lb chub, 3lb chub, 4 3/4lb chub and as the sun vanished a 5 1/4lb chub.
Beat 4. River had a good flow fished with 3 and 4oz cage feeders with long hairs for hookbaits.

4 Chub

There were 4 anglers and we caught 9 barbel and 20 chub.
The conditions were such that the Wye was flooded so we could not float fish.

enjoy the good days...cos a blank is never far away. fished half a dozen swims- every bait and method known to man...not a bite. so having thought i'd cracked it on my last visit, i'm back to a day just watching the kingfishers and enjoying the scenery. on the plus side, all the canoeists were absolutely perfect and polite and friendly....strange world eh..
