Don't ask me , how the hell would I know ? I've had TWO since the last post on this thread, both on BAA waters. Hampton Loade and Knowle Sands. I had three cracking bites at Kowle sands so that's where I'll be going next. So based on my success rate you might be better staying around Worcester :)

persaverance and patience pays dividends, unlucky so far, try some hemp on the river bed.

The river wye has always been my second favourite river next to the Taff. Why? I wasn't born within a couple of hundred yards of the Wye :) It's amazing that a river that was pretty much written off (the Taff not the Wye) is now making headlines. Brings a bloody HUGE smile to my face as I fished it when not many others were. The irony of it all was it was always a good roach and chub river. I just hope the big barbel scene does not ruin what is a great river. As for the Wye, probably the most beautiful river in the country.

Ive fished the Severn, at Knowle Sands mostly, eight or nine times so far this season, and blanked three times in a row. Just a suggestion on your bait presentation, scale it down. I use just one 10 mm halibut pellet on a short hair, or a lobworm, or a piece of luncheon. All the best
