Fishing Gurus: River Barbel And Chub

River Barbel And Chub Masterclass

You don’t often get this incredible chance to join Dean Macey on a two-day trip to the River Wye in search of barbel and chub on the feeder and float! Deano approaches a day ticket stretch of this picturesque venue that he’s never seen before, and explains how he plans out and approaches his two-day session to make sure he gets the best from it. There are some key watercraft and swim-prepping lessons to start with, before our man is on his feet and fishing a variety of different swims. It might not go to plan to start with in unfavourable river conditions, but our expert works hard to figure out where the fish are and how to catch them. Deano explains the tackle, baits, methods and techniques used, and if there’s a session to prove why he’s is the main man at this game, it’s this one!
