Barbel & Chub On The Float - River Wye Guided Session - A Wonderful Day's Guiding

For this session I accompanied two anglers, Tony & Steve, on their first trip to the Wye. They'd never been before and didn't want to go in blind so approached me to accompany them.
The video should give you an idea of how the day went but, as I'm sure you can appreciate, I didn't want to film the guys all day, wanting them to enjoy themselves without having a camera stuck in their faces constantly.
If you want further information on my guiding days, please visit my website here avonanglinguk....
As far as the fishing was concerned, they wanted to trot the stick float. Tony, being a proficient river angler, simply wanted some help with location and a few tips with the aim being to catch his first barbel on the float. Steve however is mainly a carp angler so required a little more help in getting to grips with the trotting, which he picked up very quickly and was soon catching plenty of decent sized chub.
As I explain in the video, I get approached on a regular basis as to whether I can provide guided/accompanied fishing and, until recently, I've been simply too busy. However a change in circumstances has meant that I have more free time so if you would like me to accompany you fishing please drop me an email or message me on Facebook or Instagram and I'll do my best to help.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the post.

As you will notice the comments are closed on all my videos. I have done this as (I know from past experience) I do not have time to reply to them all and I feel very ignorant not doing so. I don't want you to waste your time writing comments that I will not have chance to read. Having said that, if you would like to get in touch on any specific issue, you can do so through my instagram account or facebook page. The links are on the channel page.
Many thanks and tight lines,
