Feedback & Reports

Caught one chub on trotted bread in the morning (only fished 0530 to 1000), Chub 3lbs 13oz.

Acted on advice from bailiff fished in the evening from 1830 to 2115, the bottom glide under tree's. First take produced a good struggle fish felt heavy but before I even saw it hook pulled; as it turned out hook was partially bent should have checked clutch setting as didn't quite get the tension off in time.

Followed a series of good takes, should have done better at least managed a 4 lb 4 oz Barbel and a 4 lb Chub. Bites for Barbel were not the savage takes I experienced at the Bibblings stretch last year. I did however enjoy the experience and I will probably be back for some more next year.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Caught the Barbel and one Chub on feeder with pellet in the morning (only fished 0530 to 1000), Barbel on 2lbs, Chub 3lbs 6oz. Evening 2 Chub largest just under 4lbs caught on trotted bread, good fun. Only wish had earlier advice as I was trying each likely spot. Had advice on last day from baliff, which helped see next return.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

As with the previous year Wyebank did exactly what it said on the tin. Water levels and weather condition's dictated the day!
On my/our second visit to Wyebank the numbers of fish caught does not reflect what potential the beat has. Trotting with banded 8mm pellets were the key to catching fish.
We visited the same time last year and our catch was double that of this one. So we leave a little disappointed BUT the size of the individual fish has increased.
Rain needed to allow Wyebank to really shine!

21 Barbel, 9 Chub, 3 Other

9 Chub

Caught 3 on pellet, using feeder and the rest on trotted bread, biggest was 3lb 10 oz. All in good condition safely returned.

9 Chub

No fish caught, feeder and pellets produced only one typical barbel bite which failed to connect. A disappointing day. Water level low, previous experience of the river had better fishing when water colored.

Fished bottom of beat 3.30pm - 7.30pm. Only 1 fish, 5lb barbel on pellet.

1 Barbel

River very low. Fished early to 2.30pm and never had a bite in any swim. Intended to stay late but driven off the river by kids and canoes. Never book fishing in a heatwave on the 1st wk of school hols again.

Hot sunny day, river low and clear. No bites or fish, tried all methods, meat, pellet, corn, long, short hook-links. They just weren't having it. Beautiful short stretch of river. Would go again when river a little higher. Good parking and pub very close.

Evening session at Wyebank, first time on this stretch access really good. River really low and boy was it hot.

Unfortunately no Barbel, Managed to winkle out 6 chub up to 3 1/2lb though mostly on corn.

6 Chub
