Feedback & Reports

Staying nearby and always wanted to fish Courtfield in April so took advantage of a half price evening ticket to have a look. Signs at water plant say strictly no parking anywhere conflicting advice in the beat notes, so moved and parked on verge near Leg meadow crib. Opted to spin as river slow/low and short of time/new beat to me. Generally there's lots of deep slow water but spinning gaps between trees through legg meadow strangely felt excellent and several pike follows and a jack took a SHFC. Cribs through wood were lovely, then drove to lower end pools for a few casts. No Salmon seen but enjoyed a nice short evening session, easy welly boot spinning covered some interesting water. Many thanks to all allowing us to fish here.

Blank unfortunately, river was very high and barely fishable. Can imagine it would look like a different river with better conditions

No fish, no bites. Great scenery and venue conditions were against me today! Up pushing and coloured! Will come back to redeem myself!

River quite high and although air temp was mild water temp felt very cold. A bit of a struggle. Not the easiest best to fish in these conditions, high and slippery banks. Also of note, it wasn’t possible to park at the designated parking area at the top of the beat as the water company have put out traffic cones on the grass verge and put up signs asking you not to park there.

Intermittent rain, cloud and sunshine but mainly overcast. River low and water visibility to 12- 18 inches. The rain showers made the banks very slick making the already limited access sketchy. After checking out the lower section - access limited by a fallen tree! in the end we settled on the upper section and found a swim with both the features we wanted and reasonably safe access. We float fished a dead bait 4 feet from the bank in the slack of a tree growing out from the bank and my daughter had the only take of the day with a lovely 14lb pike - her first from the Wye and a new PB - happy days!

Fishing for Pike, but no success. One dropped run all day. River was very low for this time of year.
