Feedback & Reports

6 barbel and 5 chub all caught on float fished corn, 4 more chub caught on rolled meat. Interestingly, legered pellet raised not a single touch! Best barbel would have been around the 6lb mark and the best chub around 4lb. A very enjoyable days fishing.

Fished from 5pm after the canoe rush had passed. Water very low, still running through the middle quite quickly, with big eddies. Baited up the bottom swim and then worked my way down from the top of the beat free lining a large piece of crust. Had one Chub about 3lb+. Fished the bottom swim with feeder tactics with Red robin pellet, immediately getting lots of knocks from small barbel. Caught four small fish and decided to scale up to a boilie wrapped in paste hoping to attract some larger fish. This had an immediate effect and I landed Great Grandfather, Grandad, Father and Son in the space of half an hour. 9lb 11oz, 6lb 9oz, 4lb+ and a 2lb+. A further four barbel rounded off a fantastic evening with a new Wye PB.
My thanks to the Wye&Usk . Always a privilege to fish this fantastic river.

8 Barbel, 1 Chub

Lovely venue with some beautiful scenery. The fishing was hectic all day with so many chub it was difficult to get through to the barbel. All the chub were over 3lbs and the barbel were 6lb 14oz, 8lb 3oz and 8lb 10oz. All fish took pellets on a mix of straight lead and feeder tactics. The only disappointment was the lower end of the fishery which was pretty much unfishable without a saw, stimmer and a weeks work.
