Evening with the pellet..

[J Darcy 5,871]

Had a few hours this evening. The pellet rod fished mid-river scooted off and i managed a 7lb 12 oz barbel. A most pleasing catch for i blanked the last couple of times. Its a hard stretch, but the average seems to be 7lb...so hoping for a biggy soon....

i fish the wye and a bag would get washed away in no time on rivers like this jd use four oz watch leads to and still a pull.

nice to fish with bags,but trickle feeding with feeder does the trick here.

you got fast rivers near yo jd. and how do yo cope when in flood.

FR....beleive me i use 6 ozs leads, and have fished the PVA bags all summer through 8foot plus floods. The bags are ok and work well. A 4 oz feeder will dislodge under a medium flow due to the resistance. I use 6 oz leads and the pellets do ok for me......and the rivers are tanking through in some cases.

Nice little trick to stop your bags from washing away before they hit bottom is to either double bag over on your PVA(bit more costly?) or soak your made up bags for a few days in a glug or oil.

Nice fishin JD

each to theyre own jd.

my feeders ar built around a 4 0z uptide lead with wires you should try them jd you could then step down from your six oz leads to three or four.

hold like hell and easy to cast and more fun fishing with.

belive me jd i fish with this feeder set up all times, and this river can rise 3 meters in five hours. the watch leads with wires are also a great set up.

get more hooked fish also

A lot of wired leads are now banned on fisherys because of the potenial damage they can do too fish once in the landing net, having said this I aint seen damage from the use of them yet with other anglers, I dont use them my self either. Just a pointer to check with your club rules,I know the barbel society has banned outright use of them.
