Float Fishing For Barbel & Chub - A Fantastic Day's Trotting - River Wye Guiding Session - 5/7/23

For this session I was at the river Wye with Phil from / @anotherangleuk for a day's guiding. Phil is new to river fishing and wanted to learn how to trot the stick float in the hope of catching some of the Wye's resident barbel and chub. What a fantastic day we had...
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the post.

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. Having said that, 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.
Many thanks and tight lines,
Nic
