Feedback & Reports

Trotted maggots, fed maggots, hemp and pellet caught = 4 Barbel 1 Chub. Deeper water trotting 5g stick float. Trotted luncheon meat caught = 5 chub 1 Barbel. Got bites every run through from smaller fish, had to really drive the hook bait down and let the float travel 20-30 meters upstream to find the better fish.

5 Barbel, 6 Chub

Enjoyable day. First time on this beat. Caught all fish on maggot & hemp. Fished waggler across to the trees on the far bank. Water temp had dropped a few degrees over the past 2 days.

Wonderful sport, trotting for Chub. Barbel came late in the afternoon. Classic Wye fishing.

A wonderful day on this picturesque stretch. A slow start due to the low temperatures but picked up in the afternoon with most chub caught on the float and the larger ones on feeder.

Great days fishing started off in the morning on the stick float catching plenty of chub to caster and hemp. Moved to the croys for the afternoon and we managed 3 barbel between us to 9lb. On feeder tactics

Fished morning with stick float using caster and hemp and had plenty of action from the chub. Avg 3lb We spent the afternoon with the feeder gear and managed a couple of barbel and a few more chub. Biggest barbel 6lb 8oz

Pretty much a repeat of the previous day with plenty of Chub to float tactics.
A switch to a feeder rather than a straight lead, in order to be more aggressive with the feed, probably made a difference as I had 2 Barbel and a few more Chub than the previous day.

A great days fishing. Most of the Chub were caught by my friend, trotting hemp and caster along the far bank tree line.
I stuck it out on the straight lead for a Barbel, which came along just before dusk. I backed this up with 9 Chub generally between 3-4lb.

River rising clear during day with a lot of vegetation, weed and branches coming down. Nice to see quality barbel.

4 Barbel, 10 Chub

Very poor day, 6 chub total for the day despite 3 anglers fishing for barbel. River needs rain.
