Excellent series of vids Pons, love the simple enjoyable approach.

A very enjoyable video Chris and some lovely Wye barbel! I have copies of your Teme Tigers and Wye Valley Barbel videos from circa 2007 and have watched and enjoyed them many times. I fish exclusively for barbel and the Wye is probably my favourite river and I’ve enjoyed numerous trips down there over the last ten years or so.

[@chrisponsford1327]

Cheers Harry ,hope its going well ,thanks for your input .

[@djmossssomjd8496]

Enjoyed that, especially that nice Chub at the end. Was this before that terrible chicken slurry was dumped into the river?

[@barriejonas338]

First time I've seen this one Pons. Not sure how I missed it before. Interesting and informative as ever and of course you caught a few. Marvellous.

Great stuff again Pons, I was surprised how long the hair was 👍👍 looks a nice stretch

[@chrisponsford1327]

Yes ,Kevin ,deters the chub a bit using the longer hair .

[@barbelwalkerflytying4954]

Hi Chris, great video, really enjoying the series. Reminds me of fishing with you years ago on the Severn. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisponsford1327]

How kind ,much appreciated

[@jonkennard8272]

Chris loved that video really captures the joy of the river being there and the bonus of some lovely fish. Incidently why would you choose not to cost fish a swim like that in those conditions? I'm off to the wye this Sat first time in nearly 2 years!!! Far too long!! Can't wait thanks Jon

[@chrisponsford1327]

Hi Jon ,sorry so long not replying ,hope your session went well

[@freddieharle4322]

Great video again Pons! Really enjoying your channel and the simplicity of your techniques. Completely agree that fishing the tip over alarms is the way to go. Did a bit of Autumn tench fishing and managed a couple which isn’t bad for mid October! Keep up the great work and tight lines pal!

[@chrisponsford1327]

Thanks Freddie,appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed it .

Many thanks ,very kind ,tightlines
