Blanked. Fished 0930-1230. River up and very fast so extremely tricky. The banks were slippery and a tad treacherous. I fished groundbait feeder and pellet but struggled to hold bottom. I also encountered a lot of snags. Almost every cast I got stuck in weed and lost several feeders. Not sure if there is something I am missing here. A very kind gent came and opened the car park gate for me which was locked on arrival. Not as attractive a stretch as Home Fishery and Middle Hill Court but still pleasant. Highlight of the session was a Kingfisher.

Fished three spots attempting to locate barbel. Standard feeder and ledger methods. Very snaggy - better suited to float fishing but the river was high, coloured, and flowing fast. Picked up one small barbel in the swim at the downstream limit (just before the limit - the most downstream swim was under water). Caught a chub from the same swim.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Another fantastic day on Wyebank conditions were better than a couple of weeks ago with the levels having dropped a little. Fish caught on the bottom and middle pools all fell to pellet paste and cage feeder. As usual the access to this beat is excellent and I managed to fish the whole day without falling in!! Will definitely be back next month.

Great days fishing , not the big haul of barbel we had here last bank holiday but a few thrown in for good measure. All chub were pretty hefty , biggest weighing in at 4.5 lb . A fair few fish lost due to the snaggy nature of this beat . If you take some studded waders you can retrieve your jammed rigs as it’s quite shallow here.

I recommend going Monday to Thurs here as it’s much quieter with canoe traffic . Lots of capsized boats and people getting stuck in the rocks right in front of you ! These idiots are completely ignoring the advice given to them in their brief just moments before this happens. I saw groups being briefed here about the rapids and the rocks and we’re told to keep to the right . They don’t listen !

Be aware of these morons and try your hardest to alert them. Luckily it calmed down around 2pm leaving us to enjoy the rest of our afternoon. This aside it’s still a great place to fish

A barbel-free day at Wyebank. Can't recall that happening in past visits.
A dozen chub/chublets to Spam + halibut pellets.
