7 chub 4/5lb..1 barbel 7lb….Thanks Team and of course The Wye….

1 Barbel, 7 Chub

First time fishing this beat , wasn’t much available as it was a busy day , so took what we could , river looked perfect and I was feeling positive. Not many swims from the first car park but there were better ones from the lay-by section onwards downstream. Very challenging day , we really grafted today but only managed 1 chub of 3lbs , stunning views of the valley and forest , but those wanting some tranquility be aware that there are 2 busy roads either side of the river and traffic noise is constant. Will return again to explore this place , much more to have a go at

After fishing the beat previously we had an idea of the beat. Rods in the water for 10.30 due to the drive down, rod bent over after 15 mins with a 9lb 6 oz barbel. This quickly followed by a 7lb. Then had an hour of nothing, between 12 and 2 we had 4 more barbel, 6.6, 6.3,6.15 and a 5.3. Very productive day, fishing the cow drink peg, just on the crease. All fish fell to hinders barbel bomb with added pellet and hemp in the feeder. Scopex squid boilie hook bait.

4 Barbel

We opted to park in the top/up stream car park which is a nice facility and close to the river.
River low and the sun was out in the morning and bites were hard to come by. After lunch the river level started to rise/colour after the up stream rain a few days earlier. This brought the fish on the feed, along with all the general bank side debris you would expect after such a long period without serious rainfall. All good fun

Arrived finding the river looking good. As usual trotting the main flow, although the wind was making it difficult I was soon into the first barbel and what great sport on the stick.
It turned out to be one of my best sessions of the season with a PB on the stick float 11lb.
Managed 9 Barbel…11lb / 10lb/ 8lb / 8lb 2oz/ 2x 6lb / 7lb / 5lb / 5lb 6oz / ……
Had to leave early as the wind was gusting gale force. Would have had many more but what a day !
All fish caught on the stick float.
Thanks again Team and the river Wye……….????

9 Barbel, 1 Other

After 12hrs of nothing I was completely resigned to a blank, then in the last 40mins absolute carnage broke loose! 3 of the barbel were around the 8lb mark, one was around 7lb and I also had a smaller one for good measure. Standard feeder tactics in the woods accounted for all the fish.

Tried everything it just wasn't happening low levels clear water found a nice holding hole of about five foot at the end of a shallow run really thought it would hold fish.... nothing
