Feedback & Reports

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.

9 Chub

Did not fish.

Fished using a method feeder (11.00 through to 17.45) and also tried trotting float, using small boilies and luncheon meat cubes. Very Low water, lots and lots of snagging weed on the River bed. No fish caught today.

26’c and sunny made it tough going.
Me and my son loved it though, wading under the bridge catching many medium size chub and one 2lb barbel on the float, in a lovely location.
We Landed one 4 1/2lb chub on feeder tactics below the rapids after 5pm and lost 2 bigger fish, 1 to snags (which there are a lot of hidden boulders) and another to hook pull. :(

Had 2 smaller groups try to start fishing who weren’t booked on, but moved when asked politely.

1 Barbel, 20 Chub

Lovely beat and improved access / range of swims since last visit. River extremely low

It was great to meet the owner of this magical little fishery.

John and I had a great day amongst the chub and barbel mostly on pellets and corn on the float. Swims are so accessible in all conditions and parking is so nearby.

It was nice to see lots of fish from the bridge including a shoal of small barbel. The 'others ' were one large dace on corn and an eel on meat.

7 Barbel, 18 Chub, 2 Other
