4 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fishing was a bit slow! But weather was mild we fished one rod maggot feeder with not a single bite! The other rod switching from cheese paste and halibut flavour meat. Nothing on cheese paste but one missed bite on meat decided to fish both rods on meat and was rewarded with our first barbel of 2017, a beauty 9 lb to my son Christopher !

1 Barbel

The river was slightly coloured and at a normal level, managed to catch on pellet feeder tactics. Fished the upper swims but these were snaggy.

Arrived at 10am set up 2 float rods , one for bread flake and one for corn. Fed all swims over the bridge with mashed bread and liquidised corn. Started by bridge and finished past two trees at end of beat alternating bait from corn to flake. First fish at 11:45, a small grayling to the corn from bridge swim. Moved again and instantly connected with 2 chub around 2-3lbs on the flake from 2nd swim ( do think fish tend to feed from 11-30 to 2pm this time of year). Back to car for cuppa and a bite to eat, then off down road side to bottom swim. Again 2 handfulls of mash piled in, sorted my self out and it was a chub a chuck in the faster water off the eddy ...all to big flake on a size 6 hook. Nothing really fought just thud thud as they came in , all around the 3-4lbs. 6 fish for 8 casts then it slowed ( no doubt to the fact of returning fish back into live swim) rested it and steady feeding saw 2 more from right at the tail end of the swim ...good day. Back at the car by 2:45 , met owner and had a natter, explained my views on winter fishing and the need for 4 hr tickets this time of year?? Take care banks are very very slippery ...enjoyed it but £25.50 too steep for this time of year

No luck- water very cold at 40 deg F, not great conditions.

Good to be back on the Wye 1 pike caught on lure 6lb. Thanks WIG for access to the waters

1 Pike

No fish caught should of tried the top end of the fishery but ran out of time.

Started the fishing in a frosty morning, temperature was -4. Tried to catch pike with lures, the conditions weren't so ideal for that. Sunny day and crystal clear water, not the best. Fished from 8.30 am till 4.30 pm, tried many kind of lures but couldn't get a bite. The only action happened in the morning, a massive pike followed my lure twice, but unfortunately didn't attack it. Independently from the fishless day, I had a really great time on this stunning part of the Wye!

Cold hard day in truly stunning setting. Start temp was -5 and by 3pm rose to -1. Two chub and a lost barbel. Fish were hard to find

2 Chub
