4 Barbel, 12 Chub

Started by the salmon hut but anglers on the opposite bank were casting all the way over. Made the trek to the rocks in the woods. Broken twice on the rocks by barbel who know every sharp stone.

I was fishing the stretches in the first field after the woods. Chub were steady all day. I caught one barbel in the afternoon and the second on the last cast of the day, just as it was getting dark.

All barbel caught between 6pm and 7pm. Not many swims on the salmon hut side of the beat and didn't fancy the mountain climb !

Wonderful days fishing in one of my most favourite beats on the beautiful River Wye.

3 Black Country blokes masquerading as anglers fished the bottom field from early morning for a handful of greedy chub, then moved (well, waddled, huffed and panted) up and over Cardiac Crest for the afternoon session. We fished the faster water in the wood (the bit by the stones) which resulted in 4 barbel and countless (let's say 60) chub on rolling meat.

(Top tip - if you're 50 plus with a figure like a telly tubby, don't eat a three course meal 30 minutes before yomping up a 90 degree hill carrying 25 kilos of meat, pellets and tackle).

Decided to walk down to the woods and had a great day with Barbel and Chub from the start to legered pellet or meat.Most Barbel around 5-8 lbs apart from one of 10 lbs to Andy.Weather stayed cloudy all day which was ideal for fishing. First time back here for a while but looking forward to returning.
