Feedback & Reports

Popped down to Wyebank for a quick evening session, conditions were varied with many showers one heavy. The Wye was running nicely, I used pellet with a feeder which produced four fish during my stay. Three barbel and one chubb were a reasonable reward, none of the fish caught were of any size but they all looked well given the recent conditions. All were rested before and after removing the hook and swam away strongly.

A patchy day, boat traffic was horrendous, why do they think it’s ok to stop & have a picnic right opposite to where your fishing. I don’t think I’ll fish here during the day again.

Report for J H from Bridgwater.
A tough first day on this beat, not amused at kids throwing stones on the swim opposite.

River initially running fast from overnight rain, diminishing to a more leisurely pace around noon.
Weather was overcast, with a sunny spell at noon.
We fished at the downstream end of the beat where there Is a standing wave of white water. Access is via very precarious footpath ...
The swims are full of natural rock hazards and I fishing over that standing wave of white water, lost swimfeeders to it.
Method - 10lbs main line with size 10 hair rig hooks & Medium weight free running swimfeeders. I had a 4" paternoster on my swimfeeder, and switched to 1oz arsley bombs to easy snag recovery from my swim.
Bait - 15mm boilee, I had pineapple flavour, my mate was using krill flavour, (as was his groundbate) with hemp groundbait for me.
We had 1 roach to 6 oz approx, with the Barbel to about 3 & 4lbs approx. The largest chubb was approx 3lbs. I had a 2.5lbs chubb at 8am but most of our Fish were caught in the afternoon, with the best number from 2pm. We had to leave at 5 but we reckon the swims would have been good to catch fish till sun down. Next time we will go for a session to start from 1pm till evening, and skip the early start !
