Hi all
Had a trip up to the Wye today with the Wife.
Called in to the Wye Valley Hotel on the way up for a Sunday roast and very good too.
Then had a few hour fishing on the Wye.
The first proper bite and a Barbel on only for the hook snap on me

never had this before with this make of hook gutted.
Recasted and half an hour later another good rap round and after a great fight the first barbel of the day at 8lbs plus was in the net.

Same fish as above just looks bigger on the mat.

Had 2 nice chub around the 3lb mark and the another Barbel just over 7lb

pack up a happy man.
Called in a Tintern Abbey on the way back for a ice cream.
A very enjoyable day out.
