A Wye Christmas


As I can't get back to The Wye this Christmas I knew the conditions would be perfect for pike; water is low and clear, frosty mornings and mild afternoons, baitfish everywhere... Oh wait, it's in the fields as usual - the traditional Wye Christmas flood! Hopefully I'll get back before the season ends - fingers crossed. (Photo by my Mum).

  1. There are some really good Wye flood swims ;o)

    Mind you, they won't be bothered by me this year. Have a great Christmas Brian.

    1. I like settled conditions with some clarity for pike - almost never get that on the winter Wye! But if I can get near it I’ll give it a try - not this year though.

      Merry Christmas

    1. Thought it would be perfect conditions until I arrived. Have a great Christmas yourself. And as soon as we're all in tier 4 we'll be able to travel wherever we like for a bit of fishing :-)

    1. Much bigger floods today. But really hope I get back before the end of the season.
