BARBEL FISHING On The Stunning Wye - Can We Get Mark A Barbel? Avon Angling Guiding 14/8/25

For this session I was on a stunning stretch of the Middle Wye with Mark who fancied catching one of the lovely barbel that reside here, but would they play ball?...

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video.

COMMENTS
As you will notice the comments are closed on all my videos. I have done this as (I know from past experience) I do not have time to reply to them all and I feel very ignorant not doing so. I don't want you to waste your time writing comments that I will not have chance to read.

Also you will see in the videos I usually do not name venues through consideration for the local anglers. However venues sometimes get named in the comments which is a further reason they are turned off.

If you would like to get in touch on any specific issue you can do so through my instagram account or facebook page. The links are on the channel page. Please feel free to send me a message.

Many thanks and tight lines,
