5 Barbel, 2 Chub

Wye was rising after a few days of welcome steady rain.
Fished 11.00am right through to sunset.Used sweetcorn and meat with an open end feeder. Also a rolling lead bumped across the stream. No snags. Fished two swims either side of tree line. 7 Chub best 5lbs 1oz ....3 Barbel best 7lbs 3ozs and 1 eel on meat at end. I could not buy a bite on pellet. Landowner encouraged me to park down by the river which was excellent on this July day.Met the gamekeeper who was very friendly and helpful. A lovely peaceful day by this glorious river.

Brilliant days fishing on a fabulous stretch of the Wye. Great access right across the beat in your motor, well maintained pegs and loads of swim choice.

Had 7 barbel on Elips Pellets from the faster water at the top end, pulled out of 4 more due to poor angling (how do they always know when you're looking away, pouring coffee, doing Wordle...?) Also fished the deeper water after a break for lunch and lost count of the chub, chublets and dace (all on 4mm pellet).

Fast becoming my favourite stretch.

River up bit and a touch of colour. Fished the slower water on the near bank for a couple of chub but then moved down to the faster water on the inside and picked up the barbel , all within an hour. Sticky baits 16mm Krill did the damage for those who think its important. Find the fish and bait selection is academic in my experience but bait companies have to make a living so whatever you have confidence in go with.

The conditions were good for barbel fishing as it was overcast with showers and also the river was up and had colour. We mainly fished with the feeder with luncheon meat and pellets as hookbait although we also tried rolling meat. Even though we tried different swims and fished until sunset we weren't fortunate enough to catch any barbel but had some nice chub (the largest was 4.5 lbs) and two eels.

A rising river but the first flush through so loads of silk weed made fishing really hard. Found a sunken tree and fished behind that with reduced weed issues I managed 4 barbel with 2 over 8Ib and 2 at just over 5Ib. Great stretch as always. Love the Wye
