Feedback & Reports

Recent rains put colour in the water which might explain why halibut pellets didn’t attract bites but spiced meat got their attention.
No big beasts, chub to 3lb and barbel to 4.
Left a good bit of terminal tackle in riverbed snags including two ‘Bouncing Betty” weights which worked well until they bounced into snags!

Did not fish due to the heavy rain overnight. The foot access can be tricky with gear in dry conditions so didn’t fancy trying it in the wet,also to get the best from this beat requires wading not much fun in the rain and a rising river

Nicely overcast conditions all through the day. Fished the majority of the time on 2 swims between Old Wharf and Wyebank which were a bit less snaggy than some other Wyebank swims fished previously. Best barbel over 8lbs and chub over 4lbs. Had a great beer at the Forge Hammer Inn after fishing, well recommended.

Fished for 3 hours one bite one chub.
On a beat that normally produces plenty of small barbel,and having not had a barbel in the previous two days,started to lose my mojo! Particularly when the two guys fishing on the end of the island, which is a very prolific swim, packed up having caught nothing
Flogging and dead horses came to mind.
Retired to Foy bridge to sink a couple of cold beers with my mate.
Next time?
