Hi Guys been a while since i posted last but could really do with some advice on how to tackle the wye.
I have never caught a pike from the wye in about 5 attempts.
Went with a mate today who has fished it a bit more than me and he had one pike less than a rod length out straight under the rod tip in a nice slack.
He said this is the way he has been shown to fish the wye just find slacks close to the bank and try each one for ten to fifteen minutes at a time.
Now the thing is the stretch im a member of doesn't seem to have many of these slacks from what i can see and many of the swims are just uniform and fairly fasts close in to the bank.
Now im sure there are pike in the area but how do you guys go about fishing it is close to the bank with a large float with the bait on the bottom the only sensible way to fish it as im at a bit of loss?
