Thanks Graham, do you know if the Wye is in decent conditions at the moment? Thanks!

Not there at the moment.

However the only time it is unfishable Imo is the first few floods when the weed comes down.

The water going in at the moment is relatively warm so should fish. It'll be high but the town stretch has sime deeper water down the edge in places. So try a rod length out upstream in any slower water.

I would use a 3oz feeder with hali groundbait and large 10 ml pellets included and on hook.

Dampened down to stay in the feeder for at least 15 mins before emptying and not worrying about leaving a few feet more to run out from the reel after hitting bottom. Your bait will be level or upstream with you but line pointed downstream.

The 2-3 swims before the bridge are snaggy but v good. Don't forget the wye record was from the town stretch.
