gale force winds not fishable

Arrived at Foy Bridge to find a fair amount of water rushing through which was a touch surprising in view it had not rained heavily up in the hills over the past couple of days.
Fishing was really slow here and not much of a return for our efforts and a reflection of our limited ability!!
But....there is always next year to improve...

I’ve had some great catches at Foy but new it would tough with the water so low and clear. Trotted maggots for a while then headed for the pub.

First time on this short beat,river is still low and clear so not ideal. Unfortunately did not bring float rod which would have been better suited to this beat. Did try free lining bread and meat for chub without success,but another beautiful day on the Wye

Looked good at 1pm when arrived , opted first swim over bridge , bit too confined with that height of water , moved down and hit chub first cast ,after a little corn loose fed , took 4 in a 45min session float fishing ,then it seemed to shut down ,straight led with 3oz struggled to hold where I wanted it and constant leaves , weed and debris, meant I was bringing in kit every 10 mins . lost 3 Barbel and landed 3 up to 6lbs+ all on golf ball sizes of Aldi chopped ham with pork , in that flow bites were savage , another great day on the Wye , thank you all concerned....

A late afternoon session, river was low and clear, but with good cloud cover and mild temperature all seemed about perfect...fished pellet feeder with bites coming from the off, barbel to 7lb and chub just to under 5lb, excellent short session.
