Great days fishing. Directions/instructions need a bit of tweaking.
Advised by a estate worker to follow track along river until reaching a blue container for parking .Then told off for driving too far along path. Not really my fault if blue container had been moved and no longer there !!!!!

My first trip to middle hill court and I must congratulate the baliff on the excellent work he has done on the upkeep of the swims on this fishery,steps cut into the bank and dog spikes and ropes provided in many swims very helpful in wet and slippery conditions.The river was up and pushing through with good colour water temp was 10.3 deg so all looked well for a good day but surprisingly it turned out to be a hard days fishing,tried a variety of baits and fished most swims on the beat but could only catch the odd fish in each swim all fish caught on meat and pellet feeder.

Arrived early to a beautiful misty morning. There was a good flow on the river from the rain but the night before had been the first cold snap and I think this just switched things off. Tried most of the swims along the beat apart from the far bottom end. Also tried meat on the feeder, pellet with ground feeder and hemp. Did allot of walking. £30 and 10 hours. 1 Chub.

Arrived early to a beautiful misty morning. River was up after the rain. Was expecting a good day but I think because of the previous night’s cold snap, this switched things off. My fellow angler read the water temp at 10 degrees. Started well by loosing two sets of tackle from two casts in the top swim then spent an hour in a different swim along most of the beat. Tried feeding them up but didn’t seems to work. Didn’t try the far end but did allot of walking. Spent 10 hours trying and had allot of knocks in the 4th swim from the top so shortened the hook link and managed 1 Chub which was about 2lb. Was hoping for more and stayed put in that swim for another few hours until sunset but nothing showed itself. Tried meat and various sized pellet and dumbbell on the feeder with ground bait and hemp.

The river did drop a bit over night but then throughout the day rose back up higher than the day before. We decided to bait and wait in a couple of swim to get the best out of them, managing 2 barbel for are efforts. Swim access and management is pretty poor still, banging in silly bits of timber as step barely in the ground doesn't give you much confidence walking down in slippy conditions. And a few older productive swims downstream have been left to grow over, not giving you many options.

Nice to back on this stretch of the wye after a few years not fishing it, weather prior to are trip was not in our favor with lots of rain bringing the river up and a lot of debris downstream. Well i say debris trees between 20ft -30ft were regular flowing past. The fishing was a challenge bites hard to come by but did manage 2 good size chub fishing in the slack calmer water.

Great beat plenty of pegs thanks to Stefan the bailif. Access to this beat has improved massively. Four Anglers fished spread out over the length. Caught fish through out the day using the pellet feeder .
