What a lovely stretch of water. When we got to the water the sun was up and it was really hot, fishing was going to be hard for us we thought. We took a look round first before fishing and found that the river was running low. My mate P fished the top end and I decided to fish the very last swim on the beat, road side. I did find it hard to find a swim with a bit of depth in it as the river was running low. The bottom had a few snags in it, large rocks and due to this I lost a bit of tackle. I moved to the middle stretch, to try my hand at a bit of long trotting and ended up with three nice chub of about 4lb. P fished about 100 yards down from the bridge, road side. He had two barbel of about 5 and 7lb with about 9+ chub. All of Paul's fish were caught using the barbel bomb with pellet hook bait. There was not so many snags in P's swim. Considering the weather conditions we didn't do too bad. Parking and access is good. We had a great day many thanks.

River was very low and sun was hot, not best conditions.

Lovely day at a lovely location. Fishing probably could have been better but river very low and a hot sunny day. Our own lack of ability also didn't help, however we managed to put 2 Barbel and 3 Chub on the bank using cage feeders and pellets on the hook. Seemed to be a well looked after fishery with good access and plenty of swims to keep me and my Dad happy. We fished a couple of swims on the right bank as you look down stream. Would love to go back when there's a bit more water.

2nd day on the fishery. Same tatics as yesterday feeder with halibut pellets and hemp. 12 chub between 8 oz and 4lb 6oz. 6 barbel between 3lb 12oz and 7lb 10oz. Most fish coming in the last 2 hours.
Excellent first trip to the Wye hope to return soon.

Started fishing at 4pm, feeder fishing halibut pellets and hemp. Not a lot happened until 7pm when started to get knocks but no proper bites. Changed to sweetcorn and hooked a 7lb 10oz barbel. Added 3 Chub to 3lb, plus a couple of lost fish. River low and clear, very good access to swims paths cut and steps down to river.

Lovely evening session at Foy Bridge. First time I have fished this beat and had an enjoyable time catching 2 Barbel and a small Chub. Lost three good fish to the snag 2/3 of the way down the beat on the right hand bank.

Despite getting soaked - twice - a very productive day! The work on the swims is excellent, so thanks to the landowner - who has also removed the big snag that used to hamper landing fish on the bottom swim on the near bank. Fished 3 swims - 2 on the far bank (the very bottom and just up from the large tree) and the bottom swim on the near bank - and had barbel & chub from them all. Fish were all caught on 2 x 8ml or 10ml elipse pellets with either micro pellets in a closed end feeder or groundbait & pellets in a cage feeder. Also big thanks to the local who gave me the tip on where to fish the swim above the tree (45 degrees downstream, towards the tree stump and 2/3rds out). One thing to be aware of is that the juvenile ducks will take your bait later in the day. I managed to hook one on small pellets, but was thankfully able to get him in, wrap him in a towel and remove the hook - hopefully he will have learnt, but be wary of them. Barbel were from 4.5lb to 8.5lb, including one fish with a lot of predator damage, and chub from 3lb to just under 6lb. A VERY good day on a much improved beat.
