Hard work this time, had heavy rain and thunder until mid afternoon. Not too many canoes however. Plenty of fish showing but not too keen to get their heads down until mid evening as the river rose and coloured up a bit.
Pellet and meat - the river bed still as tackle hungry as ever.

River very low and clear. Made catching unlikely but did not spoil another fine day out on the Wye.

River was very low and clear, had to keep changing to keep bites coming , altering baits, hook-length etc. My mate worked really hard for his fish. Majority of fish fell to pellt, either feeder or float fished. Stretch is very short and with these conditions, not many swims.

A hot sunny day and my first visit to Foy. Maybe too hot. River low and nothing at all showing on ledgered pellet or any other ledgered offering. I donned the new waders and enjoyed fantastic sport with a shoal of chub falling to sweetcorn under a stick float. A trout even made an appearance after finding my bread flake too much to resist! The chub were mostly in the 3-4lb range going up to about 6lbs. My fishing partner seemed oddly more interested in his smart phone and failed to land a fish. Thanks for a fab day.

Arrived at 12.0pm,on a very bright day. Fishing was slow during afternoon but fished much better as evening approached. 12 chub between 2-6 pounds and 3 barbel to 8 pounds between the 2 of us.

A long anticipated first trip to the River Wye. Planned to fish the late afternoon after the canoe traffic had died, arrived on bank to a heavy (but brief) rain storm and fished from 4pm. Slow start, but steady feeding saw the fish really come on from 5:30 pm. Fished trotted pellet and time bomb pellet till dark. Five barbel to 8.5lb and seven chub to 5lb. Had me wondering why it has taken me so long to come here and if I'll ever fish anywhere else again! Many thanks to the Wye and Usk - superb booking service and instructions.

2 of us fished 2 days at Foy. 1st day was low and clear, the second still low with a little more colour. Only really two swims fishable when the river was this low which was a shame. Brilliant chub fishing regardless. Fish from 2-6lb on standard feeder tactics and a few eels just mix things up.

Good fishing conditions up until mid afternoon overcast but warm. Very sunny in the late afternoon though. Twenty seven Chub caught all on luncheon meat and bread. The Chubb caught with bread were caught float fishing, all other were on ledger. None of the Chub were below three pounds. Two eels and four Barbel were also caught, with the smallest Barbel being 8 pounds.

Pleasant days fishing, road down to the river is very over grown. The river is low found it difficult to find the fish in a couple of deeper runs.
Talked to a couple of guys fishing further up stream. Same story, water low, barbel not showing.
Catch, best fish Chub 5lbs 6oz, 4 other chub between 4.8lbs and 3.6lbs.

Fished from midday through to 8.30pm and had another very enjoyable day on this stretch. After a slowish afternoon, which was expected with the weather, the fish started to feed well around 5pm. Honours roughly even with one catch of 5 barbel and 5 chub and another of 3 barbel and 5 chub. All caught on feeder tactics using a variety of the usual baits with the best barbel reaching 8lbs and a cracking chub of 5lb 13 topping the chub caught. Many thanks!
