Fishing The Wye For Big Barbel & Chub - Fantastic Fishing - Avon Angling - Guiding Session - 1/7/24

For this session I was on a guiding day with Andy & Cal who wanted to do some trotting for barbel and chub on the Wye. We met at dawn and walked the 1/2 mile down to one of my favourite trotting swims on this lovely stretch of river. What a cracking day's fishing we had...
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,
Nic
