Average barbel 3lb-4lb lots of with the odd double to 12lb if you get a 8lb er you've done well its worth trying.tackle 8lb H.L. 12lb M.L. pellet and feeder tactics work well.it can get busy so leave early to go fishing phone Sues angling Hinton road.

You would be better off fishing HDAA waters.

Oh buggerluggs we've booked a week at the lodge,are we wasting our time? I only get to barbel once a year so size dont really worry us ,as long as i get a bend in the ol'carbon

not wasting your time Lew Its just the HDAA control the majority of the wye through Hereford watch your rod or the barbel will have it in/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif.

to all you barbel anglers ,what type of feeders do you recommend for the Wye and the Severn ? I'm only used to p.v.a stringers,which is how we fished the Kennet .cheers

chub angler · Mar 18, 2009

black caps with enlarged holes and micro pellets or open ended feeders plugged with ground bait

For pellet fishing check out Feeders-direct, their large pellet feeders are just the job.

a big thumbs up to you all for your help,

chub angler · Mar 19, 2009

your welcome.

just another small question,i am having a week on the river severn bewdley ,in fact,what are the chances of getting a double figure barbel also are there many in the wye ? thanxs

chub angler · Mar 19, 2009

From my own experience of the Wye I would say there are a few low doubles but loads of smaller Barbel and I haven't fished at Bewdley

Dave Burr · Mar 20, 2009

If you want double figure barbel I would suggest that Bewdley and the Wye are not your best venues. But if you catch one on either you can rightly feel proud.
