Feedback & Reports

Another fine day at this lovely beat. Fish were slow to get started but fed hard for a couple of hours in late afternoon. We found barbel in several swims, all in spectacular condition. Chub plentiful, hungry and getting bigger by the week! Very good to see a couple of small barbel of a pound or so in the mix.

Dry day with plenty of sunshine after a cool start. Moved several times before finding any barbel on usual method of pellet and feeder. Several chub on float and sweetcorn which made a nice change. Best barbel 7 lbs and chub to nearly 4 lb. Nice chat with Colin.

How many chub can a barbel angler take? They were greedy to say the least. Feeder tactics today and a tricky cast too with overhanging trees to get through. Started mid day until dusk. 10mm pellets. Wildlife included long tailed tits, green woodpecker and kingfisher but to top trump everything we saw a peregrine falcon hovering way up and then dive bombing twice. A memorable moment.
Another great day on the Wye.
