Tough finding swims as the river was up 3 metres.

4 Barbel, 6 Chub

Conditions looked good, but struggled to get a bite using different baits and tactics. Barbel came after switching from feeder to lead.

Tough conditions, falling river seemed to turn the fish off completely, struggled for bites, one lone barbel of around 7lb and a few welcome chub we’re all we had to show for a full days hard fishing, all caught on pellet and feeder

Interesting, decent stretch, could be great with a bit more work. Mixed reports previously and I blanked here in November a few years ago, so glad to get a few decent fish this time. For the price, I probably won’t fish here again but glad I tried it and both times I have been the only one on the stretch, which is nice, so we’ll see.

Fished from 6.30 to 14.00. 2 good barbel - one just on 8 lbs and one around 5 lbs. Also lost 2 good fish. I started fishing in the 2nd swim of the upper section - there is a nasty submerged branch just downstream extending quite a way out - just passing this on for information. I didn't find any chub although you could see plenty in the shallow fast water on the lower section

walked entire length of upper court hill fishery only found 1 swim even possible to fish as bank completely over grown so both of us in 1 swim whole swim and surrounding trees covered in snapped off hook lengths when i did get to cast got caught up on line in the water then the storm hit and with all the fork lightning we gave up after an hour. what a complete waste of 50 quid. I have since found out we could have fished the lower court section which I am told has better and more accessable swims however would want to see these before spending any more money.

Fished morning and evening! River up a few inches but still crystal clear! Feeder fishing caught me nothing but weed!
Rolled meat. In the evening for a 4lb chub! Hard going!
