7 Barbel, 7 Chub

Dry day with plenty of sunshine after a cool start. Moved several times before finding any barbel on usual method of pellet and feeder. Several chub on float and sweetcorn which made a nice change. Best barbel 7 lbs and chub to nearly 4 lb. Nice chat with Colin.

How many chub can a barbel angler take? They were greedy to say the least. Feeder tactics today and a tricky cast too with overhanging trees to get through. Started mid day until dusk. 10mm pellets. Wildlife included long tailed tits, green woodpecker and kingfisher but to top trump everything we saw a peregrine falcon hovering way up and then dive bombing twice. A memorable moment.
Another great day on the Wye.

Fished from 5.00am until 1.30pm. Started overcast then the sun got going about 10.00. Decided to fish The Pot found it hard to get through the Chub. Came off the feeder and used a straight lead with a 18mm pellet or boilies that was the trick to sort the Barbel from the Chub.

Returned to this beat for the fifth year and found that it remains consistent. Started at 7:30am and only fished through until just after lunch. Started well with barbel on the first two casts and five in the first 90 mins, then the chub appeared and it was difficult getting through them. Still a very enjoyable day and I'm sure that I would have double my haul if I could have stayed to fish on into the evening.
