Summer Wye V

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.
