Had six barbel from 1LB TO 9 LB 1OZS all from the main flow of the river on pellets. Stayed at the Royal Hotel in Symmonds Yat, great location but expensive to drink there. Overall lovely area and can't wait to return.

6 Barbel

After having a good day and a bad day on Courtfield, I thought I would have a good day on Wyebank - 3.30 am start for fishing 6.30 to lunch, but - not a bite! Fished bottom pool and two other pegs above, but pellet, spam and even trotted sweetcorn did not generate any interest. It looks perfect for barbel, but just couldn't even get a small one...

10 to 15 small Barbel to 4lb. River very low.

10 Barbel

Lots of small barbel from the pool at peg 10. River level a bit low.

Fished Pellet feeder. Fish were all 4lb or less.

30 Barbel, 1 Chub

Blank for salmon. Fished early and late, to avoid the canoes. A lovely piece of fly water in even lovelier scenery but no contact on this occasion.

Fished from 10am til 7pm, conditions were spot on with cloud cover for most of the day. Listened to advice and fished the bottom pool which turned out to be a barbel nursery with lots of fish caught under the 1lb mark and bites coming within seconds. Biggest caught was around 5/6lb and some nice chub to 4lb and 1 eel!
All fish caught on feeder and pellets and for those looking for quantity we would highly recommend this beat.
