Good early morning fishing 4 kept 3 returned all rainbows, 2hours on way home

4 Trout

River pretty low and clear. Sunny and hot for most of the day so I expected it may be tough. Fished three swims in upper field and caught chub slowly but surely all day. Biggest was 5lb 4oz. Very long fish that would go over 6lb in the winter no doubt. I fished groundbait feeder with 8mm pellets, 12mm bookie and meat. All hookbaits caught. Ran out of steam (and water) and packed up around 1900. Suspect the barbel would have come out to play close to dark. Slightly disappointed driving home with no barbel but alas, first session of the season, beautiful weather and the usual kingfishers and big splashes to keep me amused. Salmon?

Another good day at Wyastone. Great access to lots of swims.

4 Barbel, 15 Chub

Another great day chub fishing averaging around 3lb unfortunately it’s not what we’re here for but they were a great in fill species to catch. The barbel seem very elusive, we spoke to several other anglers who were fishing near by and they said the same. It’s so unfortunate. I can now see the decline of the wye

Fished a short evening session to avoid the sunny conditions and heat of the day the river was looking cock on , both fish fell to two 8mm hair rigged pellets lost two more during the session went home happy again having bagged two Barbel . The swim Fished went quite for a while as we watched a decent size Pike looking for her evening meal.
