Thanks for letting me know. That makes sense. I struggled for bites and the prints tie in with Muntjacs. Do you fish much locally?

Hi Martin. I use 12lb mainline and 10lb floro hook lengths for Barbel on feeder. Size 6 barbless strong hooks.

Hi Miles. Helen showed me your 10 lb Barbel - lovely fish. I did ok thanks. A few Barbel and plenty of Chub.

Thanks so much Clive for your kind words. I'm delighted you enjoyed it also. Tight lines to you too. I'm back there this Saturday.

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes it's on the Wye and Usk fishing passport.

@@WildlifeAndFishing after the other week i want to try again. Trouble is i live in Kent but i think it's worth the drive 👍🤞

Thanks Steve! Was a fun session out.

Glad you enjoyed it Martin! Thanks for your comment

What did you catch? Glad you enjoyed it. It's a wonderful River to fish. Worth a 2.5 hour drive for me!

@@WildlifeAndFishing a bit of everything really. Nothing massive but a big learning curve for me and my friend. He managed a 4lb 12oz chub on his last cast. We fished the Worcester Angling stretch below Kernes bridge. I fished the float. A new experience for me. Hoping to return in October 🤞👌🎣

Every time I go fishing I learn something new. Enjoy your fishing and good luck in October.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment.

It varies in that beat. From 3-8 ft I reckon.

@@WildlifeAndFishing ye

Or a 45 year old child :) it's a cracking river.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try pointing mine to the sky next time I'm out. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks Greg. In the edit I realised I said they were only in the Wye... Totally wrong! I think I meant to say I see them regularly only in the Wye. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks so much. It was a cracking fish indeedy. The pollution from chicken farms in the Wye catchment must be having an impact on the fishing.

Ps glad you enjoyed the videos!

​@@WildlifeAndFishingit may just be a natural phenomenon on my local river wharfe we went from very prolific barbel fishing to a point where we really struggled and these past few years were back to it being prolific again. This is all within about 8 years.

Sorry to read that. I grew up fishing the Wharf and caught my first Barbel from Wetherby weirpool. I fished a lot at Collingham bridge as a kid for minnows and dace. Do you know if Wetherby still fished well for Barbel? I see it's day ticket now.

@@WildlifeAndFishing the wharfe at Boston spa is fishing really well for barbel. I've been 5 times so far this season and had 21 . About 8 years ago it went through a lean patch but it's amazing fishing at present.

Thanks for the sub! Nic's a legend:)

Thanks Dave and good luck in September. A great month to be on the river. Fingers crossed for good trotting conditions for you. If you see my previous video I was trotting the day before this one. It was Chub-arama.

Hi Christopher. Thanks for your comment. I hope you don't mind but I try to keep the exact locations off RUclips... What I would say is it's a beat in the Middle Wye on the Wye and Usk Foundation ticket (fishing passport). A bit of detective work would get you to it :)

Thanks David. You make a good point about safety when using waders, especially in rivers. I've never heard of a tether before.

@@WildlifeAndFishing I used to fish the Severn at Coalbeookdale and always had a rope around the waste attached to a tree or ground spike when out in the river.

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video and well done on your Barbel. Every one is magic.

Brilliant - thanks Phil and I appreciate you subscribing! I'll check your channel out too buddy.

Lovely video, many thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comments, glad you enjoyed the video. The stretch is a HDAA ticket one, but I hope you understand I might keep the exact location off RUclips. Fownhope is probably my favourite best on the Wye and I fished it the day after this one. Caught plenty more Chub and had my PB Barbel at just over 10 pounds. Keep an eye out for the next video :)

Thanks, that has kind of confirmed what I thought and quite right to not shout it out. Keep the videos coming. You are not also a friend of Nic Bradley by any chance?

​@@Leffebelly Ta. Yes, I know Nic well :) mat him the day after this session. You know him also?

@@owler578 Haha, I didn't realise you were that Nick who fished with Nic at Hunts Corner, Fownhope, etc. I'm Miles, I've fished with Nic recently on the Wye and met him on Thursday at Barton Mill when I was barbel fishing on the Avon. Not sure if its a small world or that we are all attracted to similar things.

Thanks Harry! Appreciate it. Nick

Hi Terry. It's a 13ft pellet waggler rod. Not the best for trotting ... but it does the trick.

Thanks so much for your kind comments. The river season opens very soon and I've a few videos planned...

Thanks Martin. I haven't fished Throop - was that for grayling?

@@WildlifeAndFishing No, they have some great Chub fishing there. But I have caught Grayling on the Hampshire Avon.

Ouch, that sounds painful. I'll bear that in mind for sure. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks so much. You're not the first to say it and I'm listening and trying to get better! Stay well.

Avon is a great channel.

Thanks Clive!

He certainly is, and a great angler.

Thanks so much Clive. Appreciate it.

Yes George, it's down that way

Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yup - got it! Thanks Allan.

Thanks Barney :) Three sevens is a little mind-blowing to me also. Keep your videos up too buddy.

Thanks so much! Time to start using less disposable plastic in fishing maybe.

@@WildlifeAndFishing Agreed 👍

I don't get many chances to fish these days so when I do, I don't mind a bit of a trip for some good angling. The Nene is my local river.

Thanks for the feedback about the music. Point taken. Glad I'm not the only one thinking about the amount of plastic we use in fishing. It does need to change in my view. Like lead shot years ago.

Thanks so much David. I'm enjoying making them also.

Thanks Jimmy. Message received and understood:)

No problem

Thanks Alan. I'm not sure exactly what model my landing net is, but it's like this one - amzn.eu/d/hcYOGyb I got the original specs from Avon Angling's excellent videos.

Thanks Stephen. I was looking for a place to park my bike :)

Thanks for the feedback Stephen. I'm finding my way with the vids...

@@WildlifeAndFishing nice fish though, with the river so high.

Thanks so much for letting me know. From one average angler to another..!

Thanks so much. I'll try and keep them coming!

Thanks for the feedback David. I'm in two minds also about it myself. I'll keep experimenting.

Another vote for no music, subscribed 👍🏼

@@harrybobs4014 thanks for subscribing and the music feedback. The latest video has dropped the music so I'm listening :)

Yeah great vid, let's have the lovely wildlife noise, not annoying muzak 😂

Thank you! I enjoy your videos also. Keep up the great work.

@@WildlifeAndFishing You are most kind, thank you.

Thanks John. I've fished it in summer also when it's great for trotting. The locals call the hill cardiac hill..!
