    beats for the Wye Trip

    Great info George mate and quite aligned with my thinking. scheduled two days on courtfield and one on HL3 My biggest barbel at 9lbs came from Home Fishery (Lowe Courtfield) booked from Adam Fisher but it was a bloody long walk, which I had to do 4 times because my memory isn't the same anymore...

    beats for the Wye Trip

    Lovely mate, thanks for that. Fished with stan both my previous trips. Funnily in 2014 got around 15 fish on the whirly pool having twice that many bites, and the following year not a touch there but for some nice fish around mid way to the old bridge. Haven't considered the other beat but will...

    beats for the Wye Trip

    I was lucky enough to get brilliant weather in 2014 and 2015, although water was low and clear in '15, as you said it was very quiet during the day, but dawn and dusk still produced the goods. My biggest so far was a 9lber so would absolutely love to hit a double this year. Hoping Courtfield can...

    beats for the Wye Trip

    appreciate it gents. I see that WUF put some work into their website. A few hours of studying catch reports and I have much better idea where big catches can be produced vs better stamp of fish. Brilliant! :D

    Stick float rod

    I'll just say that I got myself mk3 for barbel trotting earlier this year and couldn't be more happy with the rod. It is sensitive and very powerful, stopping decent barbel in strong current, foulhooked in the dorsal fin is some test for the rod. Honestly though it's gonna give up with the...

    Keeping them feeding

    Thanks for tips, I'll try reducing the feed amount next time and resting the swim. While you rest it,would you still feed it and not fish or leave it all together for a while?

    Keeping them feeding

    A question gents: this year during my Wye holidays I tried float trotting pellets for the first time. Great fun, that's for sure but each time I experienced similar scenario. I would have start feeding loose 6mm and 8mm pellets every 20-30 seconds or so for the first 10 minutes to get them...
