Summer Wye III

Chub Soup: Well the chub stayed on the feed, hitting the lures and beating the barbel to the bait.


I had an evening session on Thursday, mostly chasing perch but I couldn't resist rolling some meat about in the gravel shallow. Chub, chub, chub...


So today I was joined by Paulos and Roger and we were searching for a barbel - and we struggled, no bites - not even chub! Until after a couple of hours a static bait was hit and the rod nearly ripped into the water - Paulos was into a barbel, a new PB of 7lb 5oz - brilliant.


Then the chub suddenly woke up, Paulos managed a new PB of 3lb 7oz before heading off at lunch time. I headed back to the island and bagged up on chub with just one barbel making an appearance - a swing job!
