Frozen Wye


There have been some good fishing reports coming from the River Wye for the last week or two, big bags of chub and roach have been caught as well as a number of pike to 20lb. So yesterday I traveled from London to get here... But the harsh weather was already working against me...

This morning I woke to a snowstorm adding to the already deep snow. Fishing looked out of the question, and this was confirmed when I went for a walk by the river. The ice in the margins was almost meeting in the middle and more snow was starting to fall... Only a madman would fish in conditions like this...

...So I did... For 2 hours... Without a run!

  3. And I've just had another look this morning. There is literally nowhere to get a line in. Where I was fishing yesterday has frozen over, the ice in the margins has got thicker and the middle of the river is full of icebergs... To the pub..!
