WhistleHappy Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Having a few days on the Wye soon... Coarse fishing for Barbel Will be based at Symonds Yat, any tips for local fishing without excessive travel from base? .. cheap as poss day tickets (or any highly recommended vfm season tickets)? .. easy parking/access spots etc.. infact any info, tips most welcome... We'll probably be looking at anywhere (cheapish) between the lower to middle Wye. Only experience we've had so far is a couple of visits to Lower Bishopswood, have caught there, but gawd that trek around the cropped field is a killer when humid! (we will be trying there again though, but thought hopefully some of you reds will have a recommended golden nugget or two by way of tips/info for more places and tactics to try.. if all else fails, its a great area to visit for walks, wildlife, scenery and photography, but main hope is for some decent barbel fishing (on a limited budget!)

Reigate Red Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Have you tried the Wye and Usk Foundation: http://www.wyeuskfoundation.org/ Have been wanting to try the Wye for a few years but never seem to get around to it. My only Barbel to date has been a small "Barbelette" of less than a pound on my local River Mole. Let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
