Rudi’s fishing successes

Rudi’s had a good year for fishing, here are a selection of his fish from the year.

Rudi lives locally and is perfectly placed to keep an eye on the Wyebank and Courtfield fisheries and he helps me enormously by looking after fishermen and watching for poachers. He fishes both beats regularly and is very well acquainted with the best places to catch fish. As the feedback pages for both Wyebank and Courtfield show he has had some superb fishing this year, with quality chub, barbel and pike. These pike pictures, in particular,  are stunning and show the wonderful colouration of healthy Wye pike.
