Highly enjoyable day on this beat.Conditions were tricky with the river very low and clear. I spent the bulk of my session on a swim half way down on the left bank. After some experimentation I had to scale down to get bites and caught most of my fish on banded 6mm pellet fished on a short hook-length and groundbait feeder. Lovely to see a couple of sub 1lb Barbel in my catch, very promising for the future.
For future reference I lost some rigs to a couple of snags, one straight across about 2/3rds of the way and another about 30yd down stream and about 1/2 way over.

7 Barbel, 10 Chub

Beautiful beat, very low and clear however. Perhaps could do with a touch of rain! Saying that it was an interesting session. I caught 8 chub and one small Barbel on last swim on left bank at the end of the Rapids. And then 2 more Chub from the first swim next to the bridge. My dad had one chub from a middle swim and hooked into what was a nice Barbel! But lost it...fish activity really picked up here at the usual 5pm onwards, being so shallow the Barbel were waiting until less light was present. Would come back here again for sure!

Lovely stretch with good access. The day started well with 2 chub and a barbel, with a bite a cast. All went rapidly downhill when I returned to the car for my camera to find the front passenger window smashed and the sat nav stolen. Thankfully the thieves ignored the expensive camera kit!

First time fishing on a Wye & Usk Foundation water. Simply stunning. Fishing was hard, river low and clear, hot and very sunny day. Still some great sport with barbel on 8mm pellet and chub on the pellet and float fished bread.

Warm sunny day, river low and clear but not exceptionally so. Fished midday to 7.00pm. 3lb chub from end peg on left bank, on double sweetcorn.
Chub of 4lb, 2 x 3lbs and 1.5lbs from middle swim on left hand bank, on rolled (3 swan link) garlic spam. Couldn't bet a twitch on halibut pellet.
Thought I was only one fishing, but someone else was. Far bank in full sun, and first swim favorite for family picnics, and dog walkers.
WUF Note : Foy Bridge fishery allows 2 individuals. A second angler was booked in that day.

Water was clear and shallow. We used halibut pellet to catch all fish. It was the first time either of us had fished the Wye. The Barbel were between 3 and 6.5lb. The Chub were between 0.5 and 4.5lb.

River far too low despite previous day's rain. Fished until dinner time then gave up. No fish caught.
