11 Barbel in the fast flow and 1 over 10lb

11 Barbel

A nice short walk to the river found it low and clear. Fished from 6 til 3, taking all the fish on centre pin trotted corn and luncheon meat alternating between 2 swims. All the fish were in good condition, bar for a few lice which were removed. A couple of the barbel were around the 1lb mark, the rest were between 5 and 7lb. Thank you Wye and Usk for a fabulous day on the river.

Tough going on a very low river. We had to work hard to get bites, but managed to find a few fish from different areas using a roving approach. All fish to freelined meat. Other fish were eels.

7 barbel caught in a morning session, a further 9 in the evening. Fish were between 5lb - 8lb. All caught on pellet from the lower section, with the faster water. 1 chub also caught

Caught 12 barbel and lost 4 more in the streamer weed, river very low with plenty of weed drifting down from probably canoes and feeding swans. All fish caught using pellet and ground bait feeder with 8mm pellet on the hook.

All barbel caught on pellets apart from one on meat. 2 eels on pellet, they seem to be making a comeback. Nice to watch the little egret fishing opposite us for most of the day.

It proved to be the perfect place to settle the nerves after the England v Columbia penalty shoot out! The river is low but this stretch always has fast deep gullies close in that hold plenty of fish. Hooked up within 5 minutes and caught steadily during the day in the hazy sunshine. Feeder and pellet proving as reliable as ever. Most fish were between 6 and 8 lb. Beatiful stretch of river with easy access and plenty of decent swims, will definitely be back.

Fist of 2 days on the Wye, to hot to fish really - managed a couple of chub and 2 eels - really hard going though.

Barbel not playing ball. Systemically fed the swims and fished. Found them later in a very snaggy area. However despite this and baits in front smaller rigs etc they weren't having it. one decent chub at dusk to finish. Frustrating
