Feedback & Reports

Fantastic days fishing, 6 Chub with biggest at 4.5lbs and 3 Barbel two 5lbs and one 9.2lbs, the other was a small Eel. River was vibrant with canoes, paddle boards and swimmers, which killed the fishing midday and afternoon. Recommend early fishing!

Thank you to the two members that provided some entertaining and insightful discussions.

The fish were queuing up in the fast water but we couldn't get there until late on when the other bank anglers left. When they finally did we caught a few but the barbel had had a pasting all day from 2 guys who were catching a fish a chuck on the float and all big ones too, 7 pounds plus some of them. Pellet and meat both caught. Canoes were a nightmare until the afternoon but I managed to only hook one that snapped me up after a decent run.

Disappointing day considering the early conditions.
Only small chublets and eels, no sign of Barbel

Very hot and quite low, but wonderful surroundings even so! Beaded PTN and GRHE fished through the deeper heads of pools. The fish caught were in good condition and very lively. One Grayling estimated at 2.5 lbs; beautiful fish.

A very enjoyable day on this Foy Bridge again and once the fish were found there was plenty of action...I packed up fairly early so probably missed out on a possible Barbel but there are a lot of Chub here and anticipate some good reports of catches in the coming weeks....It has been commented by others and I am inclined to agree that the Barbel numbers appear to be diminishing...I am pretty certain 2 or 3 years ago I would have been reporting their capture too with this number of Chub feeding...Thanks to the Owners and WUF for providing the opportunity to fish this peaceful beat again and hope to return again soon.

Tricky day - one decent trout lost and several perch landed, but nothing of any size.

The river was low and a bright sunny day meant things were going to be a bit slow but this beat is stunning and one of our favourites, so great to be here on the second day of the season. We had a few Chub throughout the day and my mate Ian had the only Barbel at last light. The swims were strimmed and access good, so thanks to the landowner/W&UF. Also, can recommend the Cottage of Content. Fantastic food and great atmosphere.
