Didn’t fish to wet to get out! No 4+4

4 Barbel, 5 Chub

Last day of three on the beautiful River Wye. First 2 days produced 17 barbel so I was looking forward to today but a horrible wind, bright sunshine and falling river made it difficult.

All 3 fish caught near the first car park on glugged Robin Reds - one at 09.30 and the last 2 just as the light faded. Very enjoyable day nonetheless

Very good day with 4 Barbel all weighing 9lb something, plus another at 4 c. 5/6lb. Still waiting for my first River Wye double, but getting close. The fishing died for an hour 4-5pm, after wondering why for a bit an Otter brazenly popped up right in front of me. That was a worthwhile trade I reckon! Throw in a Kingfisher and a good few 3-5lb Chub I went home happy.

Perfect conditions with the river rising after last night's rain. 7 Barbel . 2 over 8lb and the others between 5.5 and 7 lb. All on pellets.

Short afternoon session on the river. Slow start with bites coming in the late afternoon and early evening. Fish in excellent condition - would come back for a longer session. Access to river was good although there was heavy rain in the morning, so 4WD recommended.

All barbel between 5-10lbs. Fish all came from the bottom end near the car park.

Top angling by R.H from Bristol, who managed to find and get amongst the fish, unlike myself despite 3/4 moves up and down the beat, regrettably i could not find those elusive Barbel. Fished this beat previously when it was a lot dryer, however following the overnight deluge of rain made the return journey up from the bottom of the hill that much more trickier and treacherous it took two attempts and a good run up to get past the slippery and muddier parts before finally making it to the gate. Beware when its wet a 4 x 4 would be considered the better option.
However a another great day was had, thanks again to the WUF and landowners for giving us great access to a great stretch of river and the wildlife that it provides.
I'll be back....soon.
