River up overnight about 1'. Tried on the feeder and had one chub but almost impossible due to weed coating end tackle. Tried rolling meat and had my first Wye barbel. Switched to trotting meat and had 2 chub and a second barbel.

Fished from 12pm until 6pm. Scratched around for the first three from near the bridge. Trotting meat. Eventually found them on the end of the fast water at the bottom of the beat. Fantastic sport in the fast water.

Second day fishing the Foy Bridge beat, tried the beach area again, had 1 Chub, a few bites but again, a lot of weed, moved back up towards the bridge trying a few swims but no bites, decided to fish opposite bank for the last few hours and started to catch a few fish, biggest Chub was 6lb on the dot, stunning fish. Caught 5 Barbel and lost around 4 more due to snags, also caught several Chub in between the Barbel. Cracking fishing!
Met the Bailiff and his dogs on the evening doing his rounds along the bank, he kindly took a pic for me of a Barbel with Foy Bridge in the backdrop. Fished the cage feeder and pellet. Will be back for sure!

5 Barbel, 9 Chub

Fishing was slow at first but got better later … Managed 1 barbel and 7 chub also a very unwelcome large Eel…..

1 Barbel, 7 Chub

River very low - fished downsteam beach area below rapids, focusing on the slack between the flows. Lot of weed catching the line on every cast unfortunately, need a good downpour to flush it through, lost a good Barbel, snapped on the riverbed, but caught 9 amazing Chub, smallest around 3lb, biggest was 5lb. Fished with cage feeder and pellet hookbait. If youv'e not fished here before, step up your gear to allow for the boulders and rocks as they are unforgiving, but what an amazing location, will 100% be back when there is more water.
