Arrived at one of my stretches on the Wye today to find it heaving - 6 anglers on a mile and a half, busiest I've ever seen it - and both sections with aerated water were sewn up. Crap, left permit for alternate stretch at home, as did my old man. Rest of stretch is slower than walking pace...

I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this one. Hooked my unicorn earlier as light was fading. I'd already had a barb between 7.5/8lb on the float which I played and landed no problems, even took the liberty of a quick distance snap after she'd been rested given the good pace of water and how...

Had a couple of these turn up today, the theory behind them seems sound. However, the ( poorly ) translated instructions only deal with setting the float up, not how to make it do everything they say it will do. I've watched the ( foreign language ) YouTube vids and seen them in action, but I...

So, I'm kinda doing this backwards I admit but I ordered a pair yesterday at an eye-watering price. It's surprising how little information and opinions there are about them online really. I ordered based on the amount of positive views of the old Infinities. Just wondering if anyone has the...

I need a new hook. Drennan Super Specialist barbel have proved unreliable in the larger sizes, and I dislike the downturned eye. Starbaits SB1 have points more delicate than a nuns...... Fox S4 Kuro XS have been discontinued. Korda...well, they're a joke. Gardner Mugga...maybe. But I...

Wanting a cheap bulk bait, I opted for maples. 25 kilos dry for 15 quid can't be faulted ( out of curiousity, who buys dry particles aside from anglers and pigeon fanciers? ). I digress. My stretch doesn't allow prebaiting during the close season, and because I can't drive I can only fish...

Bear with me here. I always fish with my old man because I don't drive. We're currently barbel fishing a new stretch of the Wye, and he's always been content with one decent fish over numbers. I'm more of an opportunist and just want to catch fish, regardless of size. With that in mind, I've...

Apologies if this has been asked before gents ( and for thinking about winter in July! ). This question is specific to winter barbel on the Wye, although any relevant advice from people who fish similar rivers will most certainly be welcomed. Allow me a brief digression. I've fished the Wye...

Hiya guys, Recently joined this forum as there seems to be a healthy amount of information on here, so hello all :-) As per title, I'm currently trying to cast my own feeder weights. Following advice found elsewhere on the web I simply carved several different depth bodies into wood with...
