Wye Challenges 2024/25


Wye Pike: Target 20 - Total: 13 (65%)
Didn't go exactly to plan, there are far fewer pike here than I thought. Hundreds of hours for thirteen pike (including 6 doubles to 19lb 10oz & 19lb 4oz), but each photo represents a fantastic day!
Breakdown: Lure: 6, Livebait: 5, Deadbait: 2


Wye Barbel: Target 200 - Total: 60 (30%)
Couldn't find The Wye barbel in numbers either, but a lot of chub and even a few eels in the mix, it was great to be back wandering about on the river. And I'm still searching for that Wye double - I'll be back!
Best: 9lb 4oz, 9lb 1oz & 5x eights

  1. Considering how challenging the Wye has been this season I think we can both be happy with our returns, I know that Wye "30" is out there, i just wonder how long its going to hold out on you for.

    1. The blog doesn’t reflect how long I spent chasing those pike - definitely going to have to start searching further afield - both on The Wye and other waters. Congratulations on your Wye double - I get one next season…
