However, the river was really low and clear. Things may be very different when the water's up.Jeff Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164198326538064799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185482678332207687.post-82141630802167379902015-10-01T09:27:12.388+01:002015-10-01T09:27:12.388+01:00I think I remember that post Jeff, I'll go and...I think I remember that post Jeff, I'll go and have a look. I'm hoping there will be a bit of water on it, but lets see. Apart from the usual Barbel gear I'll take the lure rod too. If fishing from the garden isn't producing will venture further afield.

You might need it next morning if you should you get stuck into lots of the smaller fish. The hardest fighting barbel I have ever caught. When I hooked up to my first I truly believed I had a very big fish on the other end. It was only four pounds...<br /><br />They are savages! <br /><br />I don't know much about the venue at Symonds Yat, Mick. Where we went you had to cast as close as possible to the far bank cover. Working on a tip off from a Wye regular, Steve Phillips waded out three-quarters of the way and flicked white chocolate boilies under the bushes. He caught loads. I didn't get a bite on meat except from an eel. Only when I nabbed a handful of his bait did I begin to catch barbel.Jeff Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164198326538064799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185482678332207687.post-76175760766989241892015-10-01T09:17:00.234+01:002015-10-01T09:17:00.234+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeff Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164198326538064799noreply@blogger.com
