32 barbel in week on River Wye
The Wye upheld its reputation as the UK’s best autum barbel venue with a 200lb-plus catch by Andy Waters.
Wetting a line well away from his Lowestoft, Suffolk, home, he made the draining 260-mile journey to the prolific river for a week’s holiday.
Using a tried-and-tested pellet and groundbait feeder approach, he put a bend in the rod numerous times, finishing his stay with 32 barbel to just shy of 9lb.
All the fish were caught on a rig that incorporated a 15lb Drennan Gravel Braid hooklength to a size 10 Korum Xpert Power hook.
