Caught shoal sized barbel on pellet feeder. Canoe traffic was very heavy

14 Barbel

First time I've used fishing passport and couldn't recommend it enougth. We both used cage feeder with pellets and pellets on the hook. The river was low and it was a really hot sunny day which weren't the best conditions. But we had an excellent time and still had 15 barbel between us.

River slightly coloured which was great, caught from the start in all swims. 11 Barbel which ranged from 1lb to 2lb, some on float and bomb. This must be a Barbel nursery as there are so many small fish, great for the future. Plenty of snags though. The only downside to a beautiful day was the bloody canoes which were relentless. But overall still great to be catching in stunning surroundings.

Caught fish all day long on various pellet hook baits. Used feeder and groundbait tactics. We both enjoyed the day and will be back in the future

Nice stretch just a shame about the amount of rubbish left by people. Anglers or kayak users God only knows but i spent an hour filling a whole black bag full of rubbish ! Managed 8 small Barbel and 1 cracking chub
(WUF note Many thanks!)

Fished from 5pm after the canoe rush had passed. Water very low, still running through the middle quite quickly, with big eddies. Baited up the bottom swim and then worked my way down from the top of the beat free lining a large piece of crust. Had one Chub about 3lb+. Fished the bottom swim with feeder tactics with Red robin pellet, immediately getting lots of knocks from small barbel. Caught four small fish and decided to scale up to a boilie wrapped in paste hoping to attract some larger fish. This had an immediate effect and I landed Great Grandfather, Grandad, Father and Son in the space of half an hour. 9lb 11oz, 6lb 9oz, 4lb+ and a 2lb+. A further four barbel rounded off a fantastic evening with a new Wye PB.
My thanks to the Wye&Usk . Always a privilege to fish this fantastic river.
