A good few days with Billy and Chris

Posted by Tim Hughes on Sunday, October 2, 2011, In : Guided Fishing Packages 
Billy contacted me some months ago about a fishing trip in September. The weather can be dodgy around then, but as it turned out the weather was fabulous - well for sitting in, not really for fishing. I had them fishing mainly on pellet and paste with the odd boilie and lump of meat thrown in for good measure. The river fished really well and some of the tips and tactics I taught them really paid off. These are some of the fish and photos I took over the 3 days I fished with them

A very angry looking Barbel , much ...

The boys arrived to meet me at 9am and we headed off out of town for what would hopefully be a good day by the river and the day two Barbel virgins lost their cherries!

Tough few days on a low River Severn

Posted by Tim Hughes on Friday, July 29, 2011, In : Guided Fishing Packages 
It was way back near the start of the year that I was contacted by Paul and his mate Stephen about a 3 day River Severn tour. The dates were all agreed and then it was just about waiting for a few months all through the closed season.

We met up in my favourite pub to 'dicuss tactics' the night before we were due to kick off. This was good for me too as it gave me an idea of who I would be taking out on the banks. Anyway, 6 pints later I was on my way home to get an early night ready for a big ...
