2 Barbel, 3 Chub

First blank of the year, 1 Barbel for my mate winters on the way.

Slow day but two good fish lost. Only 2 fishable swims on the upper stretch. Both of these were overgrown and difficult to get down to especially as it was wet.

After overnight rain and an 8lb Barbel 1st cast I thought we were in for a good day.

Sadly that was it!

The river looked good but to be truthful there were very few accessible swims which gave us few options on the day.

It's a shame as it's a good looking bit of river but for the cost of the day tickets we were disappointed.

Didn't fish. Bank too dangerous.

Didn't go. Banks too slippery.

Really enjoyed my day fishing the Wye for the first time. Should have done it ages ago.

Had the whole place to myself. Arrived at 10 and walked all the pegs in bright sunshine. Decided on the Upper section as couldn't find many pegs on the lower part. River running low and some bits of foam coming down when I first stated. This quickly stopped I was glad to see. I started in the first peg where you park at and caught a 2lb 13oz chub fishing the groundbait feeder with a 8mm robin red pellet. Missed a bite straight after and then it went dead. I decided the peg was probably a bit too shallow so moved in to the last peg i could get in upstream. By which point the sun was beating down and it was hard going. Managed a another chub of around the same size before retiring to the top of the bank to listen to the cricket and sit in the shade. Had a barbel of 4lb 11oz on an 8mm krill pellet followd by a 2lb 8oz chub. Just as I thought they were getting on the feed, more horrible foam came down and the bites dried up at around 7.30pm. Packed up and went to the pub before driving back to Bath.

I have to say there was quite a lot of litter left in swims which i was surprised about. Picked it all up and took it home. What's wrong with people. Why would you do that. Can't wait to try a different section when there's more water on. Thanks Adam for all the great videos.
