Feedback & Reports

I enjoyed my day. No catch to report, lots of traffic on the river and they also were enjoying their sport but at times there were up to 10 boats every ten mins or so. I don't worry about the boats and I enjoyed the day. I had one pull round but suffered a hook pull. I'd love to fish this section of the Wye again, there are a lot of Barbel there. No complaints. Many thanks and best regards.

Great days angling. James and Chris caught pb barbel each. The canoes were pretty well constant for the best part of 6 hours. However, this didn't spoil the fishing. The ranuculus weed problem was still evident, however not as bad as before. Funny there are fewer larger chub coming out this year. All caught on feeder and pellet.

11 Barbel, 7 Chub

Good all round conditions. Two barbel caught on pelllet and several chub.

2 Barbel, 4 Chub, 1 Other

River a few inches higher and pushing through slightly quicker than my last visit. Floating weed still a problem but much better than the previous few days judging from other anglers reports. I had a few Chub early morning but had to wait until 09:00 until the first Barbel arrived but at 8lb 5ozs it was worth waiting for. Although I finished with 8 Barbel, there was no sustained feeding spell having to wait an hour or two between bites, my final two coming after 6pm including the best fish of the day at 9lb 2ozs. I knew I was in a productive swim so was not tempted to move around and patience did pay off today. All fish tempted on Elips pellets, best Chub 4lb 14ozs but most other Chub around the 3lb mark.

Fished both Weds and Thurs but only mornings until about 10 and afternoon and evenings from about 4.30. River up a little on Weds but dropping back on Thursday. Not ideal conditions but as always its worth persevering on this stretch as the fish are there and can be tempted. Pellet fished on a long hook link behind a feeder did the trick with 7 barbel to 9.05 and 6 chub to 5lb. Nice to meet Rudi who knows the stretch really well and is very open and helpful to visiting anglers. Courtfield is definitely one of my favourite venues and I will be back later in the season.

5lb pike caught on the spoon.

River rose 5-6 inches during the day and floating weed made fishing difficult at times. However, a good day with best barbel at 9-14 and chub to approximately 3-8 caught on pellet.

9 Barbel, 10 Chub

Difficult day fishing, although conditions good, water was low and clear.caught 1 barbel at 5 1/2 pounds mid morning on halibut pellet. Fished legg meadow crib area. Tried all bates and tactics but no good, nice stretch of water, but I think it needs some colour in it.

1 Barbel

Rain held off and had a couple of barbel, so a good day out.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

One very small chub. Nevertheless, the rain held off and I enjoyed being by the river.
