Bakers Fishery comprises just over one mile of double bank fishing above and below the bridge at Foxford and comprises a total of eleven named pools of very high quality fishing with an extension run of salmon.


Situated above and below the own of Foxford. This fishery has been developed during the past five years as the most intereting fly fishery on the lower Moy. Unlike the rest of the lower river, which tends to be slow water, the Foxford Rocks has a very consdierable gradient and a good flow througout the beat. New pools have been expertly desinged and made to accentuate this and to allow the fly to fish realistically with minimual assistance. It is an exciting stretch to fish, althuogh not at all difficult, particularly in the lowest two pools.

The water above the bridge is streamy with rocs and boulders providing natural lies. It is a mixture of wading and bank fishing. Immediately below the bridge is the Flag, a notorious holding pool just above the eel weirs. It is exciting water to fish, best in lower water when the fisherman can wade the length of it with many choices of cast over good lies. The tail consists of several rapid flowing channels. Immediately below the eel weir is a pool which is the widst on the beat (50 yards). This fishes well from either bank or from the base of the old weirs. The Ford pool below this, which is on the site of the place where there usedf to be a river crossing, fishes best from the East bank. It is separated from the pool above by a dam of natural rock. The water at the head of the pool is rapid and broken and is a very good place to catch running fish as they pause before the obstacle. The central seciton features a deep run on the West side and a gently sloping beach on the East. There are large boulders on the riverbed, behind which fish hold in all heights of water. At the tail fish lie in shoals just above the nex
