Really attractive and peaceful stretch of this wonderful river. Spent the morning fish spotting & baiting up. Started fishing soon after lunch and had 15 or so chub averaging 3-4lb with a best of 5lb 3oz on trotted sweetcorn feeding corn & pellets from a swim about a third of the way down on the left bank. River had risen about 6 inches overnight and had just a tinge of colour. Then roved around for a few hours and caught chub from most swims wading and trotting corn. Finished off trotting corn and pellets in pre-baited shallow swim on right bank near trees and had 8 barbel approx 3-6lb in less than 2 hours.
A good days fishing in marvelous surroundings and great fun on the float.
Had the beat to myself. It would have been difficult to fish the way I did had there been another angler on the water. Can't wait to return!

Three chub - 1lb, 2.5lb, 4.5lb. One Barbel 5.3lb. Lost one Barbel. Standard halibut pellets. Lovely fishery really easy to find and the pegs are well kept with excellent access.

Fantastic little beat - a dozen chub up to 4lb. The barbel are there if you can get through the chub.

Not fishing today but merely enjoying a fine afternoon along the Wye. Amazed to see huge shoals of Shad making their annual pilgrimage upstream. In thirty minutes many hundreds, if not thousands, passed my viewpoint. Also spotted a very large Pike with her escorts, and to cap it all off a Perch that must have been nudging three pounds. Wow, what a river we have.

2 barbel, 2 chub.

A quiet but enjoyable start to a few days on the Wye. Just two barbel (approx 5lb and 6lb - ish) and several chub to about 4lb.

Drove down from Lincolnshire in the morning, and it rained heavy all afternoon. Foy bridge is a nice little beat for 2 rods for a few hours sport. We caught 3 barbel of 4-5lb and several chub all on halibut pellets.

Good day 20 plus chub to 4lb on sweetcorn, most taken trotting a stick float using a centerpin. No barbel landed.
Fished the entire stretch on both banks. Water is very low so I was able to have a good look for future visits.
Thank you.

Second time fishing here and tried the daytime 2 til 10 pm only to get murdered by the chub, very violent takes but none more than 4lb, stayed until it got dark with no sign of any barbel, which was strange as the water was a bit higher and flowing faster than a month ago.

Found this beat quite hard to find (mybe my navagation skills) but the road to it was very poor only just wide enough to get 1 car down all this said the beat was pleasant when we got there. There were not many fishable swims on the left bank due to heavy growth on the banks. The right bank was more accessable but a longer walk the water is very shallow but if you can find a bit of deeper water or some cover you can find the fish. I had 5 chub upto just over 4lb and lost a very good barbel and my fishing partner had 2 small barbel 2 to 3lb and 3 chub. We fished from 5pm till 9pm which was probably the best time of day for this beat I feel.
