Landed a lovely 18lb (35 -36") fresh salmon from boat pool having lost a very large, probably high end 20s or possibly a thirty from the wood section. Also a good kelt around 12lbs.All on red and silver flying c.

A great morning's salmon fishing on Courtfield and JC's first Atlantic salmon. From Detroit and normally at home amongst the steelhead JC's morning started with one jack pike after another until a take from a salmon was followed by a lovely conditioned fresh fish of about 10lbs from between Legg meadow and Wood crib falling to a black and silver flying c on barbless hooks. This was followed by another fish of similar size which shook off and a fish twice the size, probably in the twenties which also got off. These were in the boat pool. I have no doubt had JC been fishing with barbed hooks he would have had two if not three salmon. Fly fishing down Wyebank in the afternoon produced no takers.

P.C. had a great first day fishing Courtfield catching a brace of fresh salmon at 15lbs and 24.5lbs (38.5") Sturdy scale, the twenty a beautiful full bodied fish. There is a picture of this one in the net on www.lowerwyefishing.com. 2 good kelts also caught made this a pretty productive day's fishing. Numerous jack pike were something of a nuisance but still kept the line tight!

River in great condition. Fished the woods in the morning and Legg Meadow in the afternoon. Had 9 barbel to 9.10, using pellet and boiles behind a groundbait feeder. This was my third consecutive day on Courtfield and it has produced consistently. Many thanks to Don for his help and advice.

Second consecutive day of 3 on the stretch. Not disappointed as had a brace of 9 pound barbel (9.04 & 9.06) and a chub just over 5lb.

What a great end to the season, fished on the Courtfield beat on the 13th and 14th of March. River was a bit low for this time of year, but the barbel didn't seem to mind, I landed 11 barbel to 10lbs 2oz and 4 big chub. This has to be one of the best beats on the W.U.F books, and Don is so helpful. Can't wait to come back!

1st of 3 days booked on Courtfield. Had problems and didn't get on the bank until 15.30 but still managed four barbel including a superbly conditioned 10.04, and also a brace of 5lb+ chub. All from Legg Meadow on elips pellets behind a groundbait feeder.

The 2nd time on this beat (Legg Meadow) still no fish to-day after 11hrs of trying .

Great venue, had a good day but the fish didn't bite. Enjoyed watching the salmon jump though!

My brother and I arrived at the Courtfield beat for our first ever Barbel session. Within 3 minutes of casting out my brother had landed an 11lb 3oz Barbel, in great condition. Over the next hour and a half we also caught two Barbel of just over 7lbs each. The action then tailed off, before picking up at the end of the day when we had a few more bites. All in all a great days fishing, looking forward to next time!
