Date fished 28/07/2024
12.30 until 7pm
280 miles from home to todays venue. The mighty River Wye.
A quick trip to the shops to buy (liquid) lunch and we were soon on the river. We walked most of the stretch and found a peg we could both fish in. First cast for Ellis and he was in. A bleak, followed by a million more. I cast in, my first bleak, so a pb. Followed by a million more. Maybe some dace, but I think mostly bleak.
We watched some perch chasing silvers around, they didnt want maggots though. Ellis decided to change to meat to avoid them. He fished hard for a while with a few bites but with no luck. The sun and heat were relentless. Ellis decided to go and get some bits from the car. I switched to meat and caught a small chub second cast, I wont relay the message Ellis replied!!
Hemp, casters, meat, sweetcorn and maggots all fired in on the perfect line. I followed this up with float fished meat. The float buried three times and three more chub were added to my tally.
A bleak at last.Well done. The chub aren't bad either.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hoping for something bigger today.
ReplyDeleteNice chub, hope you’ve found a few barbel today. I’ll be down there after the perch later in the week (now I know where they are) - perch & a pint!
ReplyDeleteYou do that. They were there in numbers.
