Feedback & Reports

river was perfect today, 15 chub 3 barbel. would of been more the, Otters made 3 appearances which kill the swim for a while.

Sadly blankety blank for me today. Tough conditions and packed up at 3pm when the wind became just too much. Tried many swims, tactics and baits but not even a knock all day.

First River Wye blank.
Numerous baits, tactics & swims tried to no avail. Even so, had a great day in a beautiful spot.

Beautiful winters day and given the recent floods and the river looking in prime condition we felt a feeding spell for Chub and Pike would be likely.
Things started well with a 12lb Pike for me. Dad was Chub fishing and getting wraps on bread. Lost a couple before finally getting one in the net at Chub of 4lb 9oz.
Love this beat and we’ll certainly be back again soon.

A very mild morning, what felt like a good water temperature (lost my thermometer), a South Westerly wind and a river dropping from a 3m high over night, gave me great hope. Started in penultimate swim fishing out to the crease and rotated hookbaits to no avail. A move down one and a swap to to big maggot feeder brought one good chub but that was it. I'd put a few GB balls in another slack further up and with no other indications pushed myself to walk it thinking that if the fish weren't in the big slack they must be somewhere. My reward was one bite on a boilie and a near 6lb barbel that gave a great stand up fight in a tight snaggy swim. So not what I'd hoped but 2 nice fish and a lovely day in a happy place.

I was targeting the pike. I did get two runs, but unfortunately never connected with either of them
