Nice evenings fishing. 1 x small barbel in amongst a shoal of very hungry chub. Good average size with the biggest going 5lb 8oz. Good fun.

Managed 4 barbel up to 9.9 we lost a couple as well

all caught on meat

River low and clear.

One big problem!
when arriving at one of our chosen swims an angler who said he paid ££900 per year to the Kingfisher syndicate on the the opposite bank had waded well over the half way point towards the wye & usk bank and was trotting a float about 5 yards from our bank, I explained that one of us had intended to fish in this particular swim ( as we had on previous trip ) but the angler refused to move saying the riparian owner actually owns both sides of the river and he was staying put for as long as he wanted and he did not recognise our rites as wye and usk ticket holders over his.

Although we caught fish in other swims this episode was very upsetting and ruined our day!!

Wye & Usk , please can you explain was this other angler from the other bank within his rites to do and say what he did?

Fishing Passport Note: No, he was not within his rights to act like this and we will be contacting the syndicate to ask them to refrain from this kind of behavior. Walking beyond halfway might technically be lawful if the opposite bank is the riparian owner of the whole river. However, the fishing rights on the left bank are owned by the How Caple Court fishery, so anyone fishing from the Ingestone side should not be casting beyond the halfway point.

4 Barbel

Generally a good day. River low and slow. Fished pellet feeder all day.
