Feedback & Reports

Warm sunny day, river low and clear but not exceptionally so. Fished midday to 7.00pm. 3lb chub from end peg on left bank, on double sweetcorn.
Chub of 4lb, 2 x 3lbs and 1.5lbs from middle swim on left hand bank, on rolled (3 swan link) garlic spam. Couldn't bet a twitch on halibut pellet.
Thought I was only one fishing, but someone else was. Far bank in full sun, and first swim favorite for family picnics, and dog walkers.
WUF Note : Foy Bridge fishery allows 2 individuals. A second angler was booked in that day.

5 Chub

Feeder fished Halibut pellet.

3 Barbel, 7 Chub

Water was clear and shallow. We used halibut pellet to catch all fish. It was the first time either of us had fished the Wye. The Barbel were between 3 and 6.5lb. The Chub were between 0.5 and 4.5lb.

River far too low despite previous day's rain. Fished until dinner time then gave up. No fish caught.

Barbel to 6lbs. Chub 3.5lbs. All on swimfeeder and pellets.
River very low.

4 Barbel, 1 Chub

Very slow day, in previous years we caught many more here, we used open end feeders with various hook baits, but it just wasn't our day.

First time on this beat,only because the others were booked up, so glad they were, what a gem. On first impressions when we got there looking over bridge,water low, clear but a nice flow down the centre which seemed a couple of feet deeper.
With these conditions we thought, it's going to be difficult so scaled down to 8lb line instead of the usual 10 or 12 lb long hooklincks size 12 hooks. First cast 4lb barbel, same for Len, sun came out no bites for an hour, sun went in tried meat thru feeder and hook, chub after chub to 4.5lbs steady till 4.30 then dead, switched back to pellet about 5 and from then on till 8.30 it was like the dinner bell had gone off the barbel just kept coming,the biggest 7.5 lb the rest in the 5 to 6 mark. Looking at the conditions when we got there we thought we'd struggle. What was in our favour I think that for most of the day it was very warm and overcast. Shame we had to leave them feeding but with a long drive home we reluctantly had to pack up.
Lovely small beat, great for two anglers, car parked right next to river,we will be back,great day, thanks Wye and Usk

Arrived to find the river low and clear although it did rise a couple of inches towards the end of the day. Mid morning rain gave way to sunny spells throughout the afternoon and evening. Caught 3 chub from the fast water at the bottom of the beat and 4 more plus a half pound barbel half way down the left bank. Brother took 5 chub and a barbel (also half a pound) from immediately below the bridge on the right bank. Bread and meat were the successful baits. A good day on a nice stretch of water.

A washed up tree trunk in the bottom swim could do with being removed but it's the size of a telegraph pole.

River very low and clear to the point that we could see bottom of river all the way through beat of this shallow stretch. In these conditions there are only two fishable swims. However we persevered in difficult conditions and were rewarded with 4 barbel and 13 chub.
