Awesome day trotting the float ended up with 13 Barbel, biggest only 5lb or so, lots of small ones which is great for the future. One very green eel on the feeder. But 17 chub average stamp about 4lb biggest around 6lb. Lovely day, but the kayaks were chaos today never seen it so crowded. Morning and afternoon paddlers very polite and courteous, but midday crowd rude, many drunk and just landing all over the play. including all the pegs above me on Wyebank and the ones opposite. Families swimming and wading through the river below me then wading all the way up the nearside bank and through the swim ! TBH didnt put the fish off one bit, but does spoil the peace a bit ! River was low and clear but this does allow you to get out there and run the float. Best days fishing for an age.

As this was our first time at Wyebank RJ and I started at the top and worked our way down. We didnt get far as small barbel, chub and (good size!) dace were obliging from the start on trotted corn. MF stuck with feeder and boilie losing a 4lb ish barbel at the net and landing a 3lb chub that took on the drop! Lots of bites (to 15mm boilie) but they seemed to be from smaller fish. Thank you to the owner and WUF for access to this lovely part of the Wye.

Excellent days fishing river still low but with a decent colour this beat is rammed with chub found it difficult to get through them to locate the barbel but still a very enjoyable days fishing.

Fished an evening session. Started off to a flyer. First cast a barbel about 4 pounds. Lose 2 feeders next two casts, then break my baiting needle.
So sided hooked some elipse pellets and caught another small barbel and chub. Cant get the bait to stay on.
So i decide I'll have ago a free lining meat down the inside of the crease. First go miss a bite, then get a chub about 3.5lbs. Lose a good fish. Then get my bottom broke about 5 times on some very sharp snags. But end up with another 4 chub to around 4lbs. Miss a couple more bites and home time. Wow, not even 3 hours of fishing

This report and the next are for 2 anglers CT and AW.

This report is for CT - A "lifetime" Wye first for me was included in the "2 other" in the catch - a Rudd - I have fished this river since I was 16 years old and I'm now 60 and have never caught one before on the Wye !

The "other" fish caught was a Dace.
