7 barbel from 4lb to the best at 9.5lb (what a fight that one gave me)! 19 chub to 4.5lb. Bait used feeder/pellet & meat on left bank. First time fishing Foy Bridge and had the whole beat to myself. A cracking days sport. Thanks WUF. I WILL RETURN!

Fished from 6am. Started in the first field. Usual pellet feeder tactics. Landed 3 barbel between us and a couple of chub. Bites dried up so moved up above the bridge. Started catching chub again. Sun became unbearable and also put the fish off. Left at 11.30am for some much needed refreshment.
Returned to the river at about 4pm. This time I tried the stick float whilst my son stuck with the pellet feeder.
He managed a few more fish whilst I was pestered by minnows tiny dace, baby chub and bleak. Did manage a couple of chub around the pound mark and a couple of similair sized trout. All in all a good day.
My only gripe would be that the river from the stile to the croy is unfishable, no safe access at all.

Two rods at the top of the fishery (Boys Rocks) area. Most of the action during the morning session. Barbel to 8lbs and chub to 5lbs, all taken on pellet. Good work been done on the swims directly downstream from Boys Rocks, although spent limited time in these deeper swims and produced chub only. The turning off the A40 is tiny but don't worry if you miss it, roundabouts are a short distance either side.

Both barbel around 7lb, small chublets and an eel. Only fished for a couple of hours in the evening as bright sunshine and high temps during the day. Packed up around 8.30pm with the sun going down on Goodrich Castle. As the swim I was in had no bankside it was a case of standing in the river with my waders and my dog splashing around in the shallows behind me. Hunger,the need for a beer and wanting to catch the 2nd half meant pack up when they were coming on the feed, as usual with England football the wrong option! Lovely setting, will be back in the Autumn.
