Last session of the week & back out into the midday sun - too bright for barbel? Not ideal conditions but you've got to be in it...

And 4 barbel found a bait (including one on bread), 17 chub and 3 eels - the eels seem to be making a comeback! (9 July)

Cracking trip to tide me over a few months. Final tally was 30 barbel to 8lb 4oz, 70+ chub to about 4lb and 7 eels to 2lb+. Brillant!

Oh, and the Wye Valley butterfly count total was 15 species, not bad for less than a week! Too busy fishing to photograph them though.

Eely well done....
ReplyDeleteCheers. Really should have got a photo of an eel - even just in the water - next time…
DeleteExcellent fishing mate, caught more in one week than I have in a season and a bit. Keep it going!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Great to be back on home turf - and into the fish - long may it continue…
DeleteFantastically well done Brian!
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith. Rather nice trip back to The Wye!!
