Feedback & Reports

When we booked this length back in January I was planning to do some trotting on this short and shallow stretch however the river was still a couple of feet up and there was no chance of this. We did find some fish on the right hand bank where the flow was a little steadier. We had 9 barbel to 8lb 1 oz and 4 chub to 4lb 6oz on feeder and pellet tactics.

9 Barbel, 4 Chub

Was hoping to have a go at the many chub and barbel with the trotting rod after a quick swing of the fly-rod but alas the river was too high and coloured for both; rugby was good though!

River was slightly high and coloured. Fished with a wide range of baits but failed to get any bites.

Action was very slow despite a falling river which looked like good conditions, perhaps still a little cold? Grayling was just under a pound and the two chub were 3lb 7oz and 5lb 3oz - the biggest was a new chub PB for me so can't grumble even if the bites were few and far between. Biggest chub on feeder with pellet and smaller one on a little ssg link ledger in a back eddie with bread flake as bait. Grayling taken by my wife on maggot feeder. Very nice spot to fish Foy Bridge and will be back again next season at some point. Thank you to the beat owner and to WUF.

River cold and clear. Not even a bite. Retired to pub at 12.30.

River carrying some extra water and colour. Despite the limited number of swims and a work party taking place strimming the swims both anglers caught, although only one barbel at 7 lb 10 oz.

1 Barbel, 7 Chub

Accompanied by dark clouds and persistent light rain we arrived at Foy Bridge with limited hope....A quick glance from the bridge endorsed our view fishing was going to be somewhat testing!! But after making the long journey we were happy to be on the river and give it a try.
Not much success but two fish caught...One of us captured a beautiful Wye Barbel weighing 6.10 but sadly this angler only managed a humble small Dace. The Barbel fell to hair rigged pellet in fading light and brightened considerably a damp November day.

Arrived geared up to try for the barbel - but conditions were not promising; river very low and extremely clear. Managed to sight chub between the streamer weed runs and touch legered cheese paste; with some stealth and perseverance managed to bag a couple.

2 Chub

I large trout caught on SPAM over the period of about 3 hours.
