What a lovely piece of water. I am making an error here because I think that I have spent too much time on the water at the wrong time of day. It was a very bright and warm day and barely a fish moved. I fished for hours without so much as seeing a fish. Took a break and went back on the water late. At around 8.30 a few fish started to move and at 9.00 I found two fish rising steadily in a shallow gravel run. I rose and missed one on a CDC spun dun, then rose the second and hooked and landed him. My first and currently only Usk trout and I was pleased as punch. I did hook another on a downstream drift with the same fly but the trout became unstuck just after the hook up. It was hard work and one fish for the day seems poor, but I had an absolute ball and I think that this is my favourite beat so far during my visit. Technically difficult and absolutely beautiful trout. Again thanks for making this possible.. Loving my time here.

Beautiful day on a lovely stretch of water. The banks getting a little overgrown. Lots of Himalayan Balsam. None of the fish were large but gave a good fight. All caught on nymphs. Lot of fly life including a variety of damsel flies. Good access with stiles over the barbed wire where needed. Although mostly shallow some of the pools are very deep. Too deep for me to wade through.

Hot and sunny. Water temp in mid 60's. An enjoyable beat to fish with some quite decent fly water that would have been much improved with 6'' of water on the gauge. Saw a few fish show during the course of the day ,probably residents.

Love array of fly life.....rises all afternoon until sunset.....only a few spots worth a cast.......very overgrown and low water levels......both fish succomb to the trust elkhair caddis.

Courtfield again produces consistently large fish with the biggest Barbel weighing in at 9lb 4oz. Not bad results considering only fished from 11am till 5pm all fish in great condition. The larger flotilla of canoeist a bit of a problem but there soon through and don't spoil the day. We will be back thanks WUF.

Absolutely superb!

This is barbel and chub fishing at its best. Fished feeder on pellet hookbait. First half hour quiet whilst the fish moved in, then constant savage takes from then on! Stayed at the Falcon House B&B, with an interesting and unusual parliament of owls in residence.

Fished the faster flow in low water conditions for just an afternoon, before the long journey home after an excellent weeks fishing this great river. Canoes were an occasional mild irritation but were generally polite and not too obtrusive.
