Feedback & Reports

Not much boat traffic...to be precise none.....sometimes you have to fish in the pouring rain and gusting winds to remind yourself why it is not always one of your better decisions to have a go whatever!!
The river though was in good shape though and gently rising prior to the onslaught of water on its way the following day.
We caught plenty of small Barbel on the feeder with a couple on the float plus a small Brown Trout to keep us happy on a testing day to say the least..

30 Barbel, 2 Chub, 1 Other

A bright, sunny, tough day with only four fish to report. Tried numerous hookbaits and alternated between feeder and pva bags in the search for bites but they just wouldn't get their heads down. Still, I can't think of a more beautiful place to struggle for a bite than The Wye Valley!

It was hard going as river still dropping after the weekend dropped from 4 metres down to 1. Started on float in a few different spots but it was still too pacy even with meat so hit the feeder earlier than normal as not many canoes around. Took 15 minutes to get the 1st bite which was a lovely Barbel of 6.5 lbs, when connected it just held out in the current and i couldnt move it, incredible power of these fish. I ended up with 5 barbel and 3 chub, one of which was a PB at 5lb, the Wye was very kind to me again, lovely stretch onan amazing river.

5 Barbel, 3 Chub

A beautiful venue but lots of snags. We had a few knocks but none materialised. The water was very clear and it was a sunny day. Method used was a hair rigged halibut pellet on a running leger.
