Feedback & Reports

Started fishing at 11.15 but cut short by medication issue at 2.00pm, so not quite 3 hours fishing, probably at least promising part of the day, the car temp gauge saying 33 degrees on the way home.
Fishing was however good, the river was low, had a tinge of colour and some blanket weed coming down. Fished straight 1/2oz lead which was holding bottom a third to half way across.
Started on sweetcorn and then halibut pellet and had kno0cks/taps on both, but no real takers. After an hour and a half switched to garlic meat and first cast the tip jagged round and a 2lb eel graced the net, Further proper bites on meat saw a further eel landed, about half the size of the previous one. I was sorry to leave as bites were coming thick and fast.
Another great day on this fantastic beat. Only downsides for the day were navigating the deep ruts into the field in a non-4x4 car, and the 2 tractors cutting the grass and bankside vegetation on the far bank - it needed doing but just broke the peace and serenity that usually prevails.
Looking forward to a quick return

3 eels in a favourite barbel swim. Moved and picked up a decent chub. Lost a barbel at the net, about 6-7lbs. Glorious afternoon of sun and cloud, if a little windy.

River was coloured and up from rain in previous 48hrs. Halibut pellet on feeder. Generally fished middle and downstream areas of beat. Kept moving.

5 Chub

First time for me on the Wye river levels were very low, fish not playing ball at all 3 little chublets caught, fished 6 pegs from the middle down towards the bottom, cant wait to go back, can not judge it on today's conditions ,

3 Chub

River in good condition except for the large amounts of silk weed coming downstream. Trotting was the best method during the day with lots of small chub and dace on corn. Later in the evening ledgered pellet wrapped in past produced 2 barbel and 3 chub.

Fish looked like they were still spawning.
