The second day of my two day visit to Foy bridge, timing couldn't have been worse with 2.5M on overnight Sunday to Monday. Tuesday first light there was still 1.75M on and to be honest only one fishable swim. One small chub fell to pellet early on. Rang the changes with meat, pellet and boilies on the feeder but nothing. Gave up at 14:30 and went home! This stretch is really only a low water venue in my opinion; the river narrows slightly here and any amount of water bolts through!

River well up and banging through, took one look and decided to give it a miss and rebook on next section down where much more fishable. Maybe someone with more skill and heavier leads could have managed, but that's not me I'm afraid.

River dropping from 2.5M overnight. I fished 16:30 to dusk, river still pushing through and so not surprisingly nothing caught. Rang the changes with meat, pellet and boilies on the feeder but nothing.

River rising fast and became unfishable by lunchtime

A very good day here and River level excellent for catching opportunity…We would have possibly caught more but a Cormorant clearly quite oblivious to us spent a very productive time too after its targeted species in the early evening….All baits seemed to work and despite losing a fair amount of terminal tackle this venue provided once again a great days fishing.

A tough afternoon on a river that was high and rose further while I was there. Managed to winkle out a nice 3lb chub which in the circumstances I was happy with. Many thanks to my fellow angler who lent me a bank stick and who gifted me his simple but ingenious rod retainer.

A tricky afternoon session with the river high and still rising. Winkled out a single 3lb chub. Many thanks to my fellow angler who lent me a bank stick and who gave me his ingenious little gadget for retaining the rod butt.
