Nice autumnal day at Foy Bridge. No Barbel but had some nice big Chub

9 Chub

Cold weather but the river conditions looked good but had to search for the fish, feeder and pellet tactics

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

No fish or even any bites.

Banks very steep and slippery, making it extremely difficult to cast. It felt dangerous accessing the water in any of the swims I fished. Even a long handled landing net was unable to satisfactorily reach the water safely, so we concluded that even if we were to catch, we'd be unable to safely land the fish.

Rather disappointed.



Finished early as unable to locate a comfortable swim.

4 chub up to about 4lb and a barbel about 6lb. Enjoyable day.

Great days fishing at middle hill court. First of all I’d like to thank Stefan the bailiff for lots of great advice with swim choice. We managed 5 barbel to 7lb and 10 chub to 5lb 5oz all fish court on feeder & pellet fishing close in in a deep gulley. Swims were nice and easy to get down to. Stefan as done a amazing job with the swims. Will be back soon for sure

A very pleasant four hours on the Wye with the Ross gauge showing c.0.8m on a falling river, and with improving water clarity. I had only four distinct bites, with three barbel caught and another lost to a hook pull. Pellet and meat were both successful.

A very difficult day on a cold and low (dropping) river. Thought we would struggle for a barbel but even the big chub had no interest in feeding today despite catching many here previously. Trotting produced plenty to about a pound with the largest one falling to leger tactics at dusk (about 3lb). That was the only one above a pound between 2 anglers.

River level up but steady with a tinge of colour. Bites came throughout the day and all fish caught on meat. Barbel around 7lb with the best Chub 4.5lb

2nd time on this beat ( water very dirty and high last time ) conditions perfect this time all be it the water was incredibly clear ! I could see the bottom everywhere which helped , but it was often deceptively deep when I stepped in! . Very challenging stretch of water and I really had to work hard to catch. Fished nymphs all day ( never saw anything rise ) grayling 13-14" and trout 12" all grayling caught on purple PTN.

A tough day for me today with only 1 Barbel and 10 chub.
DH from Taunton did much better with 4 Barbel and 6 chub, all fish caught with luncheon meat.
