Feedback & Reports

Arrived at Courtfield to find the river looking fantastic.
Could not get a touch except foul hooking a small pike plus 1 eel.
After talking to the local guide Kenny, he thought it was the overnight temperature of 6 degrees which had put them down.
After some advice from a Kenny, I settled in a swim at 5pm.
2nd cast barbel. I ended up with 3 barbel to 7lb and 1 chub.
Great end to a very hard day.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub, 1 Pike, 1 Other

2 chubb to 5lb from Pump Pool. Barbel to 9lb upstream of Mill Pool on pellet and corn.

3 Barbel, 2 Chub

A 2lb 4oz chub and a 2lb 4oz barbel is all we caught. River very low and very clear. If you fish here, stay at The Greenman in Fownhope. The rooms are top quality and the food is exquisite - easily the best in Herefordshire!

River low and very clear. We had 6 small barbel which were mainly taken late afternoon as the sun went off the water on pellet and meat.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub

What a change in weather conditions from the previous few weeks. Greeted by temperatures of 6c and 14c during the day meant that the barbel were not feeding as well as perhaps they should have.
The river had dropped 6 inches from Sunday. Clients caught throughout the day and had a great time. Plenty of canoes, however it doesn't make any difference or stop fish from feeding. A great day again on this beat.

7 Barbel, 3 Chub

My son and I caught 3 chub and 1 eel. The river is still very low and there were really only 2 fishable swims. Nice stretch of river but very short.

An afternoon and evening fishing. Water low and clear. Several periods where fish feeding on nymphs but could not seem to interest them in any from my selection. A few takes but no fish to the net.
