Christmas Fishies


A couple of days searching the river with deadbaits and the pike are playing hard to get! A float-fished sprat lowered into a little slack producing the only run in two days. But well worth the effort - a beautiful 18lb 10oz Wye pike to kick things off... (+0.8 / 1.2)

  1. Lovely fish well done! Hopefully we don’t get too much more rain and the river should be spot on again in a few days
