11 Barbel and 1 Chub all on pellet. Bit of a strange day had 7 barbel by 11.30 and then had liners on nearly every cast up until 4.30. Great end to the season, in three trips I have caught 31 Barbel and 12 Chub, and the winter fishing has been fantastic. Thanks to the WUF for a great season.

Zero return.

No fish caught but we are not sure we were fishing the correct beat, there was no signs to say if we were on the correct bit of river or even the correct beat. This was due to the roads around the area being blocked off to extensive road works, and no sign giving alternate route. We therefore fished a part of the river that may or may not have been part of your passport.

Zero return. Thanks.

The sun broke through about 3-30,which allowed us to fish until 6-30. We had a good day with 12 Barbel and 2 Chub being caught between us. Les had a 4lb 10oz Chub trotting with maggots. We both agreed this was a good result to end the season on. Thanks to you all at W&U see you next season.

Cold and foggy morning which improved by 2.00 p.m. No luck with fly rod and limited areas for casting on the west shore. Reverted to the spin rod which landed two 1.5lb rainbows late morning. A number of worm fishers were on the east shore. West shore could do with some work to improve casting areas.

My first time at Foy Bridge and a great day to finish the season. River was very low and gin clear. Tried 3 swims on both banks and took fish from each. There is a major snag about a third of the way across the bottom swim on the near bank, but this was the most productive spot - you need to fish at least half way. Managed 9 chub to 4.5lbs and 3 barbel to 9lb. All on small pellets - not a touch on maggots or meat. Lost biggest barbel, which was a good double, about a foot from the net! Definitely somewhere you need to get to know, but well worth another visit. See you in the new season!

A disappointing end to the season - blank.

I prefer this beat with the water at least a couple of foot up from current levels, when the top swims usually fish very well. In any event with anglers occupying swims on the opposite bank at the top end, we had to settle for the lower end of the fishery, where although there are barbel in most swims, they do not appear in great numbers. This proved to be the case today, and we ended up with only one barbel between us at 7lb 5oz.

P.C. had a great first day fishing Courtfield catching a brace of fresh salmon at 15lbs and 24.5lbs (38.5") Sturdy scale, the twenty a beautiful full bodied fish. There is a picture of this one in the net on www.lowerwyefishing.com. 2 good kelts also caught made this a pretty productive day's fishing. Numerous jack pike were something of a nuisance but still kept the line tight!
