Feedback & Reports

I hoped that the rise in water temperature might bring the barbel on to the feed, but they were not in evidence. To add to my disappointment the chub were laughing at me, with numerous snatches and rattles on the rod tip but only a half-dozen decent bites, two of which I missed, three hooked fish managed to escape, leaving me with a solitary chub of about a pound and a half. Not my best day on the Wye, but good to be out, just the same.

Storm Barra still much in evidence with very strong winds that made fishing almost impossible. We managed a couple of hours fishing in the strong winds and had one chub of 4.8.

No fish caught
River temperatures to low for Barbel

Here it is, December! Checked temperature at the bank, read 5.5 degrees, oh dear. Slim chance of Barbel in falling water temp. So targeted chub on the bread on lighter tackle. Had good day with a good stamp of Chub, biggest going 5-9. Blustery day but plenty sunshine and my mate didn't fall in this time.

Hurricane winds and freezing cold but still managed to catch a few chub, no Barbel showed.
Awful conditions !

Water temperature dropped few degrees. Cold day too. River is running low and clear. Thankfully the chub obliged. Beautiful weather.

Pellet and feeder tactics were tough today and in hindsight we should have taken a bucket load of maggots! Lovely beat. Cold morning start and bright sunshine probably didn't help but a nice day nevertheless.

Another lovely day at the Creel. Water still warm for this time of year so plenty chublets on the balsa.
