Enjoyable evening session at Foy Bridge. I fished from 5 until 9.30 and used 3 of the available pegs on either side of the river. Managed to bag 7 chub, with the biggest being around 3lb. Also spotted a couple of barbel and large chub under the bridge on my arrival. Water level on the low side but plenty of small fry in the margins. Again a very nice evening of relaxed fishing.

A big thankyou to the fishery owner for taking the time and effort to install steps into most of the swims,a pleasant few hours at Foy bridge only 1 chub of 4lb 3oz as I could not fish the fast water as another angler present.

Spent a few hours in the afternoon teaching my partner how to trott a stick float with a 'pin. Chub played ball but no barbel. Excellent beat.

Very low river level, mainly feeder fishing, chub was the main catch of the day. 2 small barbel caught noon time

Sunny day, river level normal. Enjoyable morning trotting meat stood on the rocks at the lower end of the stretch, instant bites and plenty of chub up to 4-5lb. Afternoon switched to light ledger on meat, good result again with chub. Switched to pellet/ feeder to try and find a barbel but nothing after around 3pm.
Looking over the side of the Bridge over the last couple of days, around 20 good sized chub feeding most of the time but I only spotted one barbel.

River very low with a nice flow in various places. Chub kept us busy most of the day. All about 3 to 5lb and full of lice. Removed most of the lice before returning. Barbel came to play mid afternoon/early evening. All came in at 5 to 8lb and again full of lice. Third time on this beat and it has never let us down.

Remains of several Chub and a large Barbel on the rocks, Looks like Otters feeding in the area.

With water levels lower than our previous visit swim choice was limited. Didn’t see the otters this time, but a 15lb salmon lay on the rocks of the second wier.
The canoes were a bit of a nuisance for an hour around 3.30, particularly one that was playing loud music, this spoils the experience for everyone including the wildlife. Why do the canoe companies allow this?
