Feedback & Reports

The river looked perfect but the fish were not feeding, only one bite all day but that did result in a lovely barbel of just over 9 lbs.

It made life a lot easier being able get the van down to the river, two Barbel on SG1 14mm Bollies wrapped in matching paste with a PVA bag of SG1 pellets.

The river looked in really good condition but the fishing wasn't easy.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Overcast with a touch of mist. 10 degree air temperature, 11.7 degree water temperature, river down to 1.7m with some colour. All sounds pretty good, doesn't it. Unfortunately our fishy friends didn't think so. We fished 6 swims between the 3 of us, all looking very barbelly in the conditions but it was a struggle. All 4 barbel (biggest 7lb from the bottom end, making the walk worthwhile) ) came in the afternoon. Every hookbait in the bag tried but it was a bit of a frustrating day given how good it looked. Still a day on the Wye....

Arrived to find river had burst its banks just above the bottom carpark, just enough swims for 2 Anglers to fish for a few hours until water came up further & we made a tactical retreat, we did manage to catch 2 Barbel one of which was a Wye PB of 12lb 2oz.

River level 4m on arrival & continued to rise to 4.4m during the day. Roving the slacks from top to bottom of fishery with pellet & big paste wraps on straight lead. Barbel to 9lb +.

River rising. No bites. Fished 3 hours early afternoon.

Meat feeder successful for the chub. Fished the length of the fishery with meat, pellet, paste & boilies but no barbel today.
